  • Total Time: 30-35 minutes
  • Yield: 12 muffins

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • For the streusel:
    • ½ cup all-purpose flour
    • ½ cup brown sugar
    • ¼ cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
    • ½ teaspoon cinnamon (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or spray with non-stick spray.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, combine pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Gradually stir into the dry ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. To make the streusel, mix flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon (if using). Cut in cold butter with a pastry cutter or fingers until coarse crumbs form.
  5. Fill each muffin cup about two-thirds full with batter. Sprinkle generously with streusel topping.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

  • Use canned pumpkin puree for convenience and consistency.
  • Add chopped pecans or walnuts to the streusel for extra crunch.
  • Keep the butter for the streusel cold for a crumbly texture.
  • For gluten-free, substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free baking blend.
