Hello everyone,

In honour of the first week of fall I am bringing to you the best pumpkin spice muffin recipe! I have been getting into the fall spirit this week; decorating my room, lighting candles and watching Halloween movies. The only thing missing was a yummy fall dessert to go with it, as nothing says fall like pumpkin spice, and even more so pumpkin spice muffins. These are so fluffy and have the most delicious crumble and maple glaze on top for an extra level of sweetness. I do warn you, once you have one you can’t stop, they are that delicious. If you are looking to get into the fall spirit, smell the wonderful aromas of pumpkin and maple in your home, and have a yummy fall treat I encourage you to try these out. If you do, send me a picture to my instagram @alittletouchofgold, I would love to see how they turn out!

Happy Baking!
