for the pumpkin muffins
- 1 1/2 cups pumpkin puree*
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 3/4 cups all purpose flour
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup milk
- 2 eggs, room temperature
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
for the streusel
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup pecans, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup
for the glaze (optional)
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 2 teaspoons milk
- splash of vanilla extract
- pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Line 12 muffin cups with muffin liners and spray with cooking spray. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, sugars, vegetable oil, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix well.
- Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and salt.
- Incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet, stirring until well combined
- Scoop batter into prepared muffin tins, filing just over ⅔ of the way. Set aside.
- To make the streusel, combine all streusel ingredients in a bowl (I like to use the same bowl I made the muffins into keep clean up easy peasy). Stir together until the mixture resembles wet sand. Sprinkle the streusel over the muffin batter, dividing it evenly among the 12 muffins.
- Bake for 15-17 minutes at 375°F depending on the size of your muffins. Take the muffins out when a knife inserted into the center comes out mostly clean. Allow to cool slightly.
- While the muffins cool, make the glaze. Combine all the ingredients into a small bowl and mix to combine. Drizzle the glaze over the muffins and serve!
Notes
- Make sure you are using pumpkin puree and not pumpkin pie mix! The only ingredient listened on the back should be pumpkin!
