Ingredients

250 g pumpkin puree
200 g light brown muscovado sugar
100 ml light olive oil
2 eggs
160 g rolled gluten-free oats
80 g almond flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground ginger
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
¼ teaspoon ground cloves
½ teaspoon salt

Maple Icing

100 g icing sugar
2 tablespoons maple syrup
1 tablespoon milk of your choice

Instructions

Pre-heat the oven to 180°C/160°C fan/gas mark 4.
Pour the pumpkin puree, sugar, olive oil and eggs in a large mixing bowl and beat together until smooth.
Whisk the oats, almond flour, baking powder, spices and salt together in a separate large mixing bowl until thoroughly combined.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until well combined.
Divide the batter into 10 muffin cases and bake in the oven for 22-25 minutes.
Remove the muffins from the oven and immediately transfer to a cooling rack.
Make the icing by whisking together the icing sugar, maple syrup and milk.
Drizzle 1 teaspoon of icing over each of the cooled muffins.

Notes

By all means use tinned pumpkin puree, I do.
Check the date on your spices. For the freshest taste they should be replaced every 6 months.
Check your muffin cases. If they are a bit ancient they tend to open out a bit which means they can come away from your muffins once baked.
As soon as your muffins have baked then remove from the tin to avoid excess moisture in your muffins.
Let your icing sit for 10 minutes if it's a little more runny than you'd like, it will thicken a little as it rests.
You can freeze these muffins iced or un-iced.
Store the muffins up to 3 days in an air tight container.
