These one-bowl, easy Praline Pumpkin Muffins are moist and bursting with delicious flavor. The crunchy pecan praline topping takes them right over the top!
Combine all ingredients in a medium size bowl and stir well to coat the pecans.
Preheat oven to 350ºF (180ºC). Spray 12-cup muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray.
Place eggs in a medium-large bowl and whisk well.
Add pumpkin, whisk together until smooth then add oil, sugars and vanilla and mix well again.
Sprinkle flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda, baking powder and salt evenly over the top of the pumpkin mixture. Mix just until all flour has disappeared.
Divide batter evenly between the 12 muffins cups. You will fill them almost to the top. Scatter one tablespoon of the praline topping evenly over each batter-filled cup.
Bake for 18-22 minutes or until nicely domed and a toothpick inserted in comes out clean.
Cool for 15 minutes, then slide out of the pan and transfer to a cooling rack. When muffins are cool, drizzle with the maple glaze if desired.
For the optional maple glaze:
Combine powdered sugar, maple syrup and 1 tablespoon milk in a medium size bowl. Stir until smooth. If too thick add a little more milk. Drizzle over muffins.
