🧁 Pumpkin Muffins with Streusel Topping – Moist, Spiced & Irresistibly Crumbly


  • Author: WAFA LI

Ingredients

For the muffins:
• 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour (or gluten-free 1:1 blend)
• ¾ cup granulated sugar
• 2 tsp baking powder
• ½ tsp baking soda
• ½ tsp salt
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• ½ tsp nutmeg
• ¼ tsp ginger
• 1 cup canned pumpkin puree (unsweetened)
• ⅓ cup vegetable oil or melted coconut oil
• 2 eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

For the streusel topping:
• ¼ cup brown sugar
• 2 tbsp granulated sugar
• ½ tsp cinnamon
• 3 tbsp cold butter, cubed (or coconut oil)
• ¼ cup chopped pecans (optional)


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with liners or grease well.
  2. Make the muffins: In a bowl, whisk flour, sugars, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger.
  3. In another bowl, mix pumpkin, oil, eggs, and vanilla until smooth.
  4. Gradually add dry ingredients to wet, mixing until just combined.
  5. Divide batter evenly among cups (they should be nearly full).
  6. Make the topping: In a small bowl, mix sugars and cinnamon. Cut in cold butter until crumbly. Stir in pecans if using.
  7. Sprinkle generously over each muffin.
  8. Bake 18–22 minutes, until golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
  9. Let cool in the pan 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.

Serve warm with coffee or tea—the perfect fall treat!

💡 Make ahead: Store at room temp for 3 days or freeze for longer. Reheat before serving.
