Ingredients

Scale

Muffin Batter

  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup pumpkin purée
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Streusel Topping

  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into small pieces

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. In another bowl, beat the eggs with sugar until smooth. Add the pumpkin purée, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract; mix until combined. Slowly incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just blended, being careful not to overmix.
  2. Make the Streusel Topping: In a separate bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Add the cold butter pieces and use a pastry blender or your fingers to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Assemble and Bake: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners and fill each cup about 2/3 full with the batter. Generously sprinkle the streusel topping over each muffin. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  4. Cool and Serve: Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • For extra moisture, substitute half of the vegetable oil with applesauce.
  • Ensure the butter for the streusel is cold to create a crumbly topping.
  • Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
