  3. In a separate bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, eggs, milk, and melted butter, whisking until smooth.
  4. Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently fold until just combined.
  5. Mix together an additional portion of sugar and ground cinnamon for the topping.
  6. Fill each muffin liner halfway with the batter, sprinkle with the cinnamon sugar mixture, then add more batter to cover.
