- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt

- 1/4 cup brown sugar for swirl

Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
2. Mix the pumpkin puree, melted butter, sugar, egg, and vanilla extract in a bowl.
3. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon.
4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined.
5. In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon for the cinnamon swirl.
6. Spoon a little of the muffin batter into each muffin cup, add a layer of the cinnamon swirl, and then top with the remaining batter.
7. Bake the muffins for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
8. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth.

Notes
Avoid Overmixing: Be careful not to overmix the batter, as this can result in tough, dense muffins. Gently fold the ingredients together until just combined.
Check for Doneness: Use a toothpick to test the muffins for doneness. Insert it into the center of a muffin, and if it comes out clean, they’re ready to come out of the oven.
Variations: Feel free to get creative by adding chopped nuts or chocolate chips to the batter for extra texture and flavor.
Storing and Reheating: Store any leftover muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply warm them in the microwave for 15-20 seconds.
