PUMPKIN COFFEE CAKE MUFFIN

This pumpkin coffee cake muffin is perfect for the fall season, it features a moist and fluffy centre filled with warming spices, with a flavourful crumb topping and maple infused glaze. I love using pumpkin puree in baked goods, it gives a fluffy texture with a cozy balanced flavour. This is a perfect fall breakfast indulgence!
