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 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 the streusel topping:
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
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, nutmeg, and cloves.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the melted butter, pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- 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, and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. Cut in the cold 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!
Pumpkin Streusel Muffins have a rich history dating back to the early 19th century when pumpkin became a popular ingredient in American baking. This delightful treat is a staple in fall and winter, with its warm spices and comforting aroma. Chefs across the United States, particularly in the Northeast and Midwest, have put their own spin on this classic recipe, adding unique touches to the streusel topping or experimenting with different types of pumpkin. Today, the best versions of this dish can be found in cozy bakeries and cafes in cities like New York, Boston, and Chicago. The key to a perfect Pumpkin Streusel Muffin lies in the balance of moist pumpkin flavor and the crunchy, buttery streusel topping. For a twist, some bakers incorporate chocolate chips or nuts into the batter for added texture and flavor. Whether enjoyed with a cup of coffee for breakfast or as a sweet afternoon snack, these muffins are a beloved indulgence for many.
