Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 and 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
- 1/3 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- For the streusel topping:
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 and 3/4 cups of flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon of ground nutmeg, and 1/4 teaspoon of ground cloves.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup of melted butter, 1 cup of granulated sugar, and 1/2 cup of packed light brown sugar until smooth. Add 2 eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in 1 cup of canned pumpkin puree, 1/3 cup of milk, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- In a small bowl, prepare the streusel topping by combining 1/2 cup of flour, 1/4 cup of granulated sugar, 1/4 cup of packed light brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon. Stir in 1/4 cup of melted butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Divide the muffin batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups. Sprinkle the streusel topping over the batter in each cup.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
