Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Spray two 12-count mini muffin pans very well with floured cooking spray or grease and flour the pans; set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, allspice, nutmeg, cloves, and optional salt; set aside.
- In a separate large bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, pumpkin puree, coconut oil, almond milk, molasses, and vanilla extract until combined.
- Pour the wet pumpkin mixture over the dry ingredients, and stir until just combined; do not overmix. Batter will be thick; add a splash of milk if it seems too thick.
- Divide batter evenly among the prepared mini muffin pans, filling each cavity just under 3/4 full.
- Bake for 11 to 12 minutes, or until tops are set, springy to the touch, and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
- Allow muffins to cool in pans for 10 to 15 minutes before transferring to a rack to cool completely.
- For the cinnamon sugar coating, combine granulated sugar and cinnamon in a medium bowl and mix well.
- Gently roll each cooled muffin in the cinnamon sugar mixture until evenly coated. Serve immediately.
