Ingredients

Scale

Muffin Batter

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ⅛ teaspoon ground cloves
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup canned pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup packed light brown sugar
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Streusel Topping

  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup packed light brown sugar
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease generously to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and salt until evenly combined. Set aside.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until you get a smooth mixture with no lumps.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; some lumps are fine to keep the muffins tender.
  5. Prepare Streusel Topping: In a small bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and cinnamon. Add the cold butter pieces and use your fingers or a pastry blender to cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  6. Fill Muffin Cups: Divide the muffin batter evenly among the 12 prepared muffin cups.
  7. Add Streusel: Generously sprinkle the prepared streusel topping over the top of each muffin to create a crunchy and sweet layer on baking.
  8. Bake Muffins: Place the muffins in the oven and bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Cool Down: Let the muffins cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This prevents sogginess on the bottom and helps them set.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the batter to ensure tender muffins.
  • Use canned pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling, for best flavor and texture.
  • If you want a stronger spice flavor, feel free to increase the spices slightly.
  • Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
  • Check muffins a minute or two before the minimum baking time as oven temperatures vary.
