Ingredients You Need

Pumpkin Muffins

• brown sugar
• granulated sugar
• all-purpose flour
• baking soda
• baking powder
• cinnamon
• salt
• unsalted butter, melted
• eggs
• milk or buttermilk
• vanilla extract, if desired
• pumpkin puree
• Add-ins and flavorings of your choice, like walnuts, maple syrup, etc. 

Streusel Topping

Selecting Pumpkin

When selecting the canned pumpkin, you need 100% pure pumpkin and not pumpkin pie filling. Pumpkin pie filling is already sweetened and flavored with spices and would not work well in the muffins. This is pretty standard when baking with pumpkin, unless the recipe specifies otherwise!

How To Make The Pumpkin Muffins with Streusel 

Streusel Topping

1. Whisk together the flour, sugars, salt and cinnamon together. Add melted butter and stir together.
2. Mixture should like like wet sand and should have lots of big chunks. Do not smooth out, place in fridge until ready to use. Set aside.
3. Add 1 cups pecan halves and pieces to mix for some crunch!

Pumpkin Muffins

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Grease muffin pans or line with paper muffin liners.
2. In a large bowl, stir together the brown sugar, white sugar, flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and spices. 
3. Add the melted butter, milk and eggs, mix until smooth. Add in any add-ins if you wish, like chocolate chips or nuts.
4. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin pans. Fill cups at least ¾ full.
5. Sprinkle as much streusel as you want on top of the muffins.
6. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes in the preheated oven or until a toothpick inserted into a muffin comes out clean.

Baking Tips

• Using pumpkin puree gives such a moist texture to the muffins and baked goods.
• However, whether you’re baking pumpkin pie or pumpkin loaf, you’re fighting against the moisture in the pumpkin purée to get it baked through completely.
• Per The Kitchn - Mistakes to Avoid When Baking with Pumpkin Purée, always use a probe thermometer or a skewer to test the thickest part of your pumpkin loaf of pie. Bake loaves and muffins until they reach 200°F and pies to 175°F.

These pumpkin muffins with streusel topping are perfect for Fall baking!  Break out the muffin pans and lets bake some love! Baked Pumpkin Cake Donuts are a delicious pumpkin option too!   Enjoy!
