Preheat the oven to 425℉ (218℃). Add almond milk, pumpkin puree, avocado oil, egg, and vanilla extract to a large mixing bowl. Whisk to combine. Stir in the honey and set the bowl of wet ingredients aside.
Whisk the Kodiak Cake Mix, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, salt, ginger, and cinnamon in a separate mixing bowl.
Add the dry ingredients to the mixing bowl with the wet muffin batter and stir to combine, careful not to over-mix.
Prepare a muffin tin with cupcake liners and divide the batter into the cups using an ice cream scoop until it's filled ⅔ of the way. Then, sprinkle some brown sugar over the batter.
Bake for 5 minutes. Then, lower the heat to 350℉ (176℃) and continue baking for 10 minutes or until the muffins are golden brown.
Remove the muffins from the pan and transfer them to a wire rack to cool for 10 minutes.
Notes
Expert Tips:
Spoon and level the flour into measuring cups for baking accuracy.
For optimal results, use room temperature ingredients; this especially applies to the eggs.
Avoid over-mixing the batter, as it can result in dense muffins.
If you don’t have muffin liners, that’s okay! Grease the muffin tin with cooking spray, oil, or butter before adding the batter.
When filling the muffin cups, use an ice cream scoop to divide the batter and reduce the mess.
Start the Kodiak muffins at a high temperature for a short time to activate the baking powder and allow the muffins to shoot up quickly. Then, turn the heat down and continue to cook the muffins.
When finished, insert a toothpick into the center of the muffins. It should come out clean when they are done cooking.
