Scale
Crumb Topping
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
Muffin Batter
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ⅓ cup vegetable oil
- ½ cup brown sugar, packed
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- ¼ cup sour cream
- 1 cup pure pumpkin puree
Instructions
- Prepare the Oven and Muffin Pan: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin pan with muffin papers.
- Make the Streusel Topping: In a small bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and cinnamon. Stir in the melted butter until the mixture resembles damp sand. Set aside.
- Prepare the Muffin Batter: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a large bowl, whisk together the vegetable oil, brown sugar, granulated sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, sour cream, and pumpkin puree until smooth.
- Combine Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined.
- Fill Muffin Cups and Add Streusel: Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin pan, filling each cup about ¾ full. Generously sprinkle the streusel topping over each muffin.
- Bake: Bake for approximately 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For an added flavor twist, consider incorporating chopped nuts or chocolate chips into the batter.
- These muffins can be stored at room temperature for a few days or frozen for longer storage.
