Ingredients
Scale
- 1¾ cups (219g) all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup (244g) pure pumpkin puree
- ½ cup (100g) granulated sugar
- ½ cup (100g) packed light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- ½ cup (120ml) vegetable oil
- ¼ cup (60ml) milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ⅓ cup (67g) packed light brown sugar (for streusel)
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar (for streusel)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for streusel)
- ¼ cup (57g) unsalted butter, melted (for streusel)
- ⅔ cup (84g) all-purpose flour (for streusel)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease with non-stick spray.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt until well combined.
- In a large bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, both sugars, and eggs until smooth. Add the vegetable oil, milk, and vanilla extract, then whisk until completely incorporated.
- Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a rubber spatula. Mix just until combined – a few small lumps are fine.
- In a small bowl, combine both sugars, cinnamon, and flour for the streusel. Pour in the melted butter and mix with a fork until crumbly.
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.
- Generously sprinkle the streusel over each muffin, gently pressing it into the batter slightly.
- Bake at 425°F for 5 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) without opening the oven door. Continue baking for 15-18 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Allow muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
