Ingredients

Ingredients for the Streusel Crumb Topping:

Ingredients for the pumpkin muffins:

  • 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon of cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon of ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 8 tablespoons 1 stick unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar packed
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 15 oz canned or fresh pumpkin puree not pumpkin pie filling

Instructions

  • Making the streusel for the pumpkin muffins:Combine the flour, sugars, cinnamon, and salt in a medium sized bowl.
  • Pour in the melted butter and mix until it has been absorbed by the flour and large crumbs have formed. Set aside.
  • Instructions for making the muffins:Preheat your oven to 375°.
  • Line two 12 cup muffin pans with paper muffin liners, or spray the cavities with cooking spray.
  • Melt butter in a small saucepan or the microwave. Once melted, set aside to cool slightly while you prepare the other ingredients.
  • Whisk together flour, baking soda, spices, and salt in a medium sized bowl and set aside.
  • Next, whisk the sugars, melted butter, and vegetable oil together until combined. It'll start to separate immediately, but that's ok!
  • Mix in the eggs and vanilla extract. Continue mixing until well incorporated.
  • Add the pumpkin to the egg mixture and whisk until all the wet ingredients are blended together.
  • Pour the pumpkin mixture into the dry ingredients and using a whisk or a wooden spoon, mix until the batter is just combined and no flour streaks remain. Do not over mix!
  • Scoop muffin batter (about a 1/4 cup) into paper muffin liners.
  • Top all the muffins with the streusel crumb mixture.
  • Bake muffins at 375° for about 17-20 min. 
  • The muffins are done when an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
