Directions
Directions:
1.Preheat oven to 400F. Spray two 12-count mini muffin pans very well with floured cooking spray or grease and flour the pans; set aside.

2.Muffins - In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, allspice, nutmeg, cloves, and optional salt; set aside.

3.In a separate large bowl, whisk together the sugars, pumpkin, oil, milk, molasses, and vanilla until combined.

4.Pour the wet pumpkin mixture over the dry ingredients, and stir until just combined; don't over mix. Batter is quite thick and if yours is seemingly too thick, add a splash of milk to thin it.

5.Divide batter equally among the cavities of the prepared pans. Each cavity will be just under 3/4 full.

6.Bake for about 11 to 12 minutes (start checking at 8 minutes and keep a very close eye on them because mini muffins cook quickly and all pan sizes and ovens vary), or until tops are set, springy to the touch, and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, or with a few moist crumbs dangling but no batter (if making full-size, baking time will be similar to this recipe). Allow muffins to cool in pans for about 10 to 15 minutes before removing and placing on a rack to cool completely. They can be dipped in the cinnamon-sugar coating as soon as they're cool enough to handle.

7.Cinnamon Sugar Coating - In a medium bowl, add the sugar, cinnamon, and stir to combine.

8.Gently roll each muffin through cinnamon-sugar until evenly coated. Serve immediately. Muffins are best warm and fresh, but will keep airtight at room temperature for up to 5 days, or in the freezer for up to 6 months. Note the cinnamon sugar coating could liquefy and 'melt' as the days pass because the muffins attract moisture, get softer as time passes, and the coating melts. Simply re-roll muffins through additional cinnamon-sugar if desired.
