Pumpkin Muffins with Cinnamon Glaze

This year I was a little late on my "pumpkin flavored everything phase". But then I remembered how awesome pumpkin flavored everything is. And then I remembered that pumpkin muffins exist. Warm, soft pumpkin muffins covered with this wonderfully sweet cinnamon glaze exist.



So maybe I had three one of these for breakfast this morning while I watched the snow fall...



But with the warm, comforting fall flavors of the pumpkin muffin, with the ooey-gooey cinnamon glaze drizzled over the top, it's so hard to stop at just one.
