Ingredients
Scale
Muffin Batter:
- 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
- ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 cup canned pumpkin purée
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Streusel Topping:
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ⅓ cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ cup unsalted butter (cold and cubed)
Instructions
- Preheat oven and prepare pan: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin pan with liners or lightly grease.
- Prepare batter: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger. In a separate large bowl, whisk together pumpkin purée, granulated sugar, brown sugar, oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth. Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet mixture just until combined—do not overmix.
- Fill muffin cups: Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups.
- Make streusel topping: Combine flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a small bowl. Cut in the cold butter with a fork or pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle evenly over the muffin batter.
- Bake: Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool in pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
Notes
- These muffins stay moist for several days and freeze well.
- For extra indulgence, drizzle with a simple glaze made from powdered sugar and milk.
