Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground cloves
- 1 cups Pumpkin puree
- 1 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups Brown sugar
- 0.5 cups Vegetable oil
- 2 Large eggs
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 medium Apple (peeled, cored, and diced)
- 0.25 cups Unsalted butter (cold, cut into small cubes)
- 0.25 cups Brown sugar (for streusel)
- 0.3 cups All-purpose flour (for streusel)
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon (for streusel)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly with cooking spray.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing gently with a spatula or wooden spoon. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold the diced apple into the batter until evenly distributed.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
To prepare the streusel topping, combine the brown sugar, all-purpose flour, ground cinnamon, and cold butter cubes in a small bowl. Use a fork or your fingers to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Sprinkle the streusel evenly over the muffin batter in each cup.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20–22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
