Ingredients
Units
- 1 1/2 cups pumpkin puree
- 2 large eggs, at room temperature
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- For the streusel:
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/3 cup pecans, finely chopped
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees and line 12 muffin cups with liners. Set the pan aside.
- Whisk together the pumpkin puree, eggs, vegetable oil, granulated sugar, maple syrup, and vanilla extract in a large bowl until smooth and well combined.
- Add the flour, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, and salt. Mix with a wooden spoon or silicone spatula until just combined. The batter will be thick with some lumps visible.
- Scoop the batter into the liners, filling them about ⅔ full. You should have enough batter for 12 muffins. Tap the pan on the counter a few times to help settle the muffin batter.
- Wipe any batter residue out of the bowl with a paper towel, then add all of the streusel ingredients. Mash them together with a fork until they look crumbly. Divide the streusel among the 12 muffins, sprinkling it on top of each.
- Bake the muffins in the preheated 375 degree oven for 18-20 minutes or until a tester inserted into the middle comes out clean and the streusel is beginning to turn golden.
- Cool the muffins in the pan for 10 minutes before moving them to a cooling rack. The muffins will have the best texture if allowed to cool for at least 30 minutes.
