Ingredients

For the muffins:

½ cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
½ cup light brown sugar, packed
1 can (15 ounce) pure pumpkin
3 large eggs
2 Tablespoons Pumpkin Spice Coffee Creamer
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoon baking powder
1 Tablespoon cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground ginger
½ teaspoon nutmeg
½ teaspoon ground cloves
½ teaspoon kosher salt

For the glaze:

1 ½ cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon maple flavoring
¼ cup Pumpkin Spice Coffee Creamer
½ cup pecans, chopped

Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, beat butter with sugars until fully blended. Add pumpkin, eggs and Pumpkin Spice Coffee Creamer. Beat until combined.
Add flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves and salt. Beat for about 2-3 minutes until fully combined.
Spray a mini-muffin pan with non-stick baking spray. Drop batter by 1-2 Tbsp scoop into muffin pan. Bake in a 350 degree F oven for 11-13 minutes. Remove and cool on wire rack.
In a small bowl, whisk the powdered sugar, maple flavoring and Pumpkin Spice Coffee Creamer together until smooth and well blended.
Dip tops of muffin into glaze, allowing the excess to drip off. Place on wire rack and sprinkle with chopped pecans. Allow muffins to set about 15 minutes. ENJOY.

Notes

If you want to freeze the muffins, do so before adding the glaze. Place cooked and cooled muffins into an airtight freezer bag. When ready to use, thaw at room temperature. Proceed in making the glaze and enjoy!
If you can't find Pumpkin Spice Coffee creamer, feel free to substitute with my Homemade Pumpkin Coffee Creamer! Or use half and half with pumpkin pie spice. You'll need ¼ teaspoon for every ½ cup half and half.
