Healthy Maple Glazed Pumpkin Muffins

These muffins are really yummy and the glaze is fabulous!
The original recipe called for ground cloves, but I didn't have any so I added about 1/4 tsp allspice instead.

Healthy Maple Glazed Pumpkin Muffins

Ingredients

For the Muffins

• 2 cups whole wheat flour
• 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking soda
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon each cinnamon, and nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon allspice
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 2 cups pumpkin puree
• 1/2 cup oil
• 1/4 cup maple syrup
• 3 tablespoons milk
• 3 eggs

For the Glaze

• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 1/4 cups powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoons vanilla
• 1/4 - 1/2 tsp maple extract
• 1-2 tablespoons water

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 F. Mix the dry ingredients (flours, baking soda, baking powder, cloves, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and sugar). In a separate bowl, mix the wet ingredients (pumpkin, oil, maple syrup, milk, and eggs).
2. Combine the dry and wet ingredients in a large mixing bowl, stirring until just combined. Fill each muffin tin almost to the top with a scoop of batter.  Move oven rack to middle (bottoms burn easily).
3. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until tops are puffy and spring back when you press them. Remove from the muffin pan and let cool before glazing.
4. For the glaze, melt butter in saucepan. Add powdered sugar and vanilla - it will be thick and sticky. Stir in maple extract. Add water until desired consistency is reached.
