Enough for a light drizzle over about 12 muffins.
Reconstructed on September 27, 2026 from the remembered ingredients in our September 24 discussion. The original quantities could not be recovered; these are suggested starting proportions.
Ingredients
- 1 cup powdered sugar, sifted
- 2 tablespoons pumpkin purée
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- Unsweetened soy milk, 1 teaspoon at a time as needed (start with none; usually 1–3 teaspoons is plenty)
Instructions
- Whisk the powdered sugar, pumpkin purée, maple syrup, and pumpkin pie spice until smooth.
- Add soy milk only as needed, 1 teaspoon at a time, until the glaze falls from a spoon in a thick ribbon. If it becomes too thin, whisk in more powdered sugar a tablespoon at a time.
- Let the muffins cool completely, then drizzle the glaze over the tops. Allow it to settle before serving; the pumpkin keeps this glaze softer than a plain sugar glaze.
Notes
- Avoid adding extra pumpkin purée to the muffin batter; it can make the muffins heavy. The pumpkin in the optional glaze is separate.
