1/3 cup honey or maple syrup
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
2 large eggs
1/4 cup milk (or milk alternative)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a muffin tin or line it with paper liners.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and a pinch of salt.
In another bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, honey or maple syrup, eggs, and milk until smooth.
Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined; avoid overmixing.

Spoon the batter into muffin cups about three-quarters full and bake for 18-20 minutes until golden brown. A toothpick should come out clean when inserted.
