Ingredients
Muffins
- 2 large eggs
- ½ Cup neutral oil (canola or vegetable)
- ½ Cup granulated sugar
- ½ Cup brown sugar (light of dark)
- 1 + ½ Cups 100% pure pumpkin puree (NOT pumpkin pie filling)
- ¼ Cup milk of choice (I use skim, 2%, or whole dairy milk)
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 + ¾ Cups all-purpose flour
Streusel Topping
- ¾ Cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ Cup granulated sugar
- ¼ Cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 5 Tablespoons salted butter
Vanilla Glaze (Optional)
- 1 Cup powdered sugar
- 1 + ½ Tablespoons milk of choice (I use skim, 2%, or whole dairy milk)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Muffins
- Preheat the oven to 375°F and line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with muffin liners (or spray with cooking spray) and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, oil, granulated sugar, brown sugar, pumpkin puree, and milk until well combined.
- Slowly whisk in the baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, salt, and flour. Mix until JUST combined (a few lumps are ok! Do NOT overmix).
- Divide the batter evenly between the 12 muffin cups, filling each cup about ¾ of the way full. You can use a spoon or a large cookie scoop to do this.
Streusel Topping
- In a small bowl, melt the butter. Then set it aside to cool.
- In another small or medium bowl, whisk the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and pumpkin pie spice together.
- Drizzle the slightly cooled melted butter over the dry ingredients and use a fork to gently mix the ingredients together to create clumps and crumbs (avoid overmixing as the topping will get a paste-like texture).
- Spoon the crumbs evenly over the muffin batter, and very gently press them down into the batter to help them stay after baking.
- Once the streusel topping has been added on top of the muffin batter, bake for 15-20 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean (a few crumbs are ok).
- Allow the muffins cool in the tin for about 10-minutes while you prepare the vanilla glaze.
Vanilla Glaze (Optional)
- Whisk together all glaze ingredients (powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract) in a small bowl until smooth. Drizzle over the muffins before serving and enjoy!
