Ingredients
1 ¾ c. all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
2 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
½ tsp salt
½ c. canola oil
½ c. granulated sugar
½ c. light brown sugar (packed)
1 ½ c. pumpkin puree
2 large eggs
¼ c. milk
- Crumb Topping
¾ c. all-purpose flour
¼ c. granulated sugar
¼ c. light brown sugar (packed)
1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
6 tbsp salted butter (melted)
Directions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F. Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease the tin.
- Prepare the Dry Ingredients:
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, and salt. - Mix the Wet Ingredients:
In another bowl, whisk together the canola oil, granulated sugar, brown sugar, pumpkin puree, eggs, and milk until smooth. - Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined—don’t overmix. - Make the Crumb Topping:
In a small bowl, combine the flour, sugar, brown sugar, and pumpkin pie spice. Add the melted butter and mix until crumbly. - Assemble the Muffins:
Fill each muffin cup full with the batter. Then, generously sprinkle the crumb topping over each one. - Bake:
Bake the muffins for 5 minutes at 425 degrees, then baked at 350 degrees for 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes:
Ingredient Substitutions: If you’re out of canola oil, you can substitute it with vegetable oil or melted coconut oil. For a healthier option, consider using applesauce in place of some of the oil.
Gluten-Free Option: To make these muffins gluten-free, substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend. Just make sure the blend contains a binding agent like xanthan gum.
Dairy-Free Option: For a dairy-free version, use almond milk or another non-dairy milk in place of regular milk and swap the salted butter for coconut oil or a dairy-free butter substitute.
Pumpkin Puree: Make sure to use pure pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling, as the latter contains added sugars and spices that can alter the taste of your muffins.
Enjoy Warm: For the best taste, serve these muffins warm from the oven or reheated in the microwave for a few seconds.
