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.
