Cinnamon Streusel Pumpkin Spice Muffins
Notes
You’ll need:
- 12 cup standard muffin tin
- Large, medium and small bowls
Ingredients
- For the Streusel Topping (make first):
- • ¾ cup (100 g) all-purpose flour
- • 1/3 cup (70 g) light brown sugar
- • 1/3 cup (70 g) granulated sugar
- • ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- • ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
- For the Muffins:
- • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- • 1 tsp baking powder
- • ½ tsp baking soda
- • ½ tsp salt
- • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- • ½ tsp ground nutmeg
- • ½ tsp ground ginger
- • ½ cup granulated sugar
- • ½ cup brown sugar, packed
- • 1 cup canned pumpkin puree (not pie filling)
- • 2/3 cup (120g) canola oil
- • 2 large eggs, at room temperature
- • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- Optional glaze:
- • 1 cup (112g) powdered sugar
- • 2 tsp milk
- • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- 1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly.
- 2. To make the streusel topping, combine the flour, both sugars and cinnamon in a small bowl. Melt the butter, and drizzle over the dry ingredients while gently fluffing and mixing with a fork or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Set it aside.
- 3. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and spices (cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger). Set this dry mixture aside.
- 4. Combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract in a separate large bowl. Mix until the ingredients are well combined, and the mixture is smooth.
- 5. Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- 6. Fill each muffin cup about two-thirds full of the pumpkin batter. Then, evenly sprinkle the streusel topping over each muffin, pushing it down into the batter slightly to keep it from rolling off during baking.
- 7. Bake in the preheated 425°F oven for 5 minutes, reduce the heat to 350°F, and continue baking for 15 – 17 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. (total baking time 20 – 22 minutes)
- 8. Once done, allow the muffins to cool in the tin for about 10 – 15 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- 9. Optionally, mix the powdered sugar, milk, and flavoring in a small bowl until you have a pourable glaze. (not too thick, not too thin) Drizzle over the tops of the muffins.
- 10. Enjoy!
