Ingredients

Scale

Muffin Batter

  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp ground cloves
  • 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs

Streusel Topping

  • 1/4 cup chopped pecans (optional)
  • Additional 1/4 cup brown sugar (estimated for streusel)
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (estimated for streusel)
  • 2 tbsp cold butter, cubed (estimated for streusel)
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon (estimated for streusel)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners to ensure easy removal and cleanup.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, salt, ground nutmeg, and ground cloves until evenly combined, setting the flavorful base for your muffins.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the canned pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, and eggs until the mixture is smooth and well incorporated.
  4. Combine Ingredients: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just blended, being careful not to overmix to keep the muffins tender.
  5. Prepare Streusel Topping: In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, all-purpose flour, ground cinnamon, and chopped pecans. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture is crumbly.
  6. Fill Muffin Cups: Spoon the muffin batter into the liners, filling each about two-thirds full to allow room for rising.
  7. Add Streusel Topping: Evenly sprinkle the prepared streusel topping over each muffin for a delicious crunchy texture.
  8. Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Cool: Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely, maintaining their perfect texture.

Notes

  • Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days for optimal freshness.
  • For extra crunch and flavor, add chopped pecans to the streusel topping as suggested.
  • You can substitute vegetable oil with melted coconut oil or canola oil if preferred.
  • Make sure not to overmix the batter to keep the muffins light and fluffy.
