REMEMBER THAT IT’S IMPORTANT TO ALWAYS COOK UNDER ADULT SUPERVISION. SOMETIMES WE USE OBJECTS THAT COULD BE HARMFUL, LIKE A KNIFE, SO DON’T EVER ATTEMPT TO DO THESE RECIPES ALONE.

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and line a 12-muffin tin with paper liners. Sift flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves, ginger, freshly grated nutmeg, and salt into a medium mixing bowl.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, packed light brown sugar, whole milk, pumpkin puree (canned solid pumpkin), melted butter, and vanilla.
  3. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet and mix just until incorporated, being careful not to over-mix. Finish mixing with rubber spatula.
  4. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups in a muffin tin. Use a large scoop to get the dough into the cups.
  5. Bake until golden brown, 22 to 25 minutes. Remove from the oven.
  6. While the muffins are cooling for 10 minutes, start making the frosting. With a hand mixer, cream together 8 ounces cream cheese and 6 ounces softened unsalted butter in a large mixing bowl. Gradually add 2 cups confectionate powdered sugar and whip until creamy. Keep mixer on low speed at first.
  7. Spread icing on each one using a knife or spoon, making sure to cover the entire top of the muffin. Start with one muffin in the center and add more around it on the plate.
