Instructions

For the Muffins:

  1. Place a rack in the middle of the oven. Preheat the oven to 375ºF. Generously grease the cups of a jumbo 6-cup nonstick (gray, not black) muffin tin or line them with paper liners.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, beat the eggs with an electric mixer on low speed until light yellow and frothy, about 30 seconds. Add the pumpkin, oil, molasses and vanilla and beat just until blended.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients. With the mixer on low speed, gradually beat the dry ingredients into the liquid ingredients until the batter is smooth and slightly thickened. Stir in the pumpkin seeds and ginger. Divide the batter evenly in the muffin pan.
  4. Bake 35 to 40 minutes or until the muffin tops are firm and the edges start to pull away from the pan. Cool the muffins in the pan 10 minutes. Transfer the muffins to a wire rack.


For the Glaze:

  1. In a small bowl, blend the powdered sugar, water, and molasses until smooth. With a small spatula or knife, spread the glaze over each muffin. Serve warm.
