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 ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
- For Streusel Topping:
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cubed
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease with non-stick cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 1 and 3/4 cups of flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the melted butter, pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. If using, fold in the chopped nuts.
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
- To make the streusel topping, in a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup flour, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup brown sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. Cut in the cold cubed butter using a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Sprinkle the streusel topping over the muffin batter in the cups.
- 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 pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
