These delightful pumpkin spice muffins are topped with a luscious cream cheese frosting, making them perfect for any autumn gathering.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with liners.
Using muffin liners makes cleanup easier and ensures the muffins release cleanly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, eggs, water, sugar, and vanilla extract.
Mix until smooth to ensure even distribution of ingredients.
Add the flour, baking powder, and pumpkin pie spice to the wet mixture and stir until just combined.
Avoid overmixing to keep the muffins tender.
Divide the batter evenly among the muffin liners, filling each about two-thirds full.
Use an ice cream scoop for even portions.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Rotate the pan halfway through baking for even cooking.
Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
Cooling completely ensures the frosting won't melt.
In a bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Chill the frosting slightly if it becomes too soft.
Frost the cooled muffins with the cream cheese frosting using a spatula or piping bag.
Decorate with a sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice for a festive touch.
Serve and enjoy your delicious pumpkin spice muffins with cream cheese frosting.
Pair with a warm beverage for a cozy treat.
