Ingredients
– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 teaspoon baking soda
– 1 teaspoon baking powder
– 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
– 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
– 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
– 3/4 cup granulated sugar
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
– 2 large eggs
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– Streusel Topping:
– 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
– 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
– 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cubed
– 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
1. – Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line it with paper liners.
2. – In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt.
3. – In a separate large bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until well blended.
4. – Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined. Do not overmix.
5. – In a small bowl, make the streusel topping by combining the flour, brown sugar, butter, and cinnamon. Use a fork or your fingers to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
6. – Scoop the muffin batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full. Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the batter.
7. – Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For a more pronounced pumpkin flavor, you can increase the amount of pumpkin puree to 1 1/4 cups. You can also add chopped pecans or walnuts to the streusel topping for extra crunch. These muffins can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or frozen for up to 2 months.
