Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners and lightly spray them with nonstick spray if desired.

2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well combined.

3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the vegetable oil, eggs, pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, and milk until smooth and creamy.

4. Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.

5. In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon for the streusel. Pour in the melted butter and stir with a fork until crumbly.

6. Divide the muffin batter evenly among the prepared cups, filling each about 3/4 full. Generously sprinkle streusel topping over each muffin, pressing lightly to help it adhere.

7. Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

8. Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Make extra streusel and freeze it—it’s perfect on pancakes, French toast, or quick breads.

For a lighter muffin, replace half of the oil with unsweetened applesauce.

Be careful not to overmix the batter, or the muffins may turn out dense.

These muffins freeze beautifully. Just reheat in the microwave for a warm breakfast treat.
