Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the cups.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 1.75 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 0.5 teaspoon baking soda, 1.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon, 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 0.25 teaspoon ground ginger, and 0.5 teaspoon salt. Set aside.
In another mixing bowl, combine 0.75 cup granulated sugar, 0.5 cup light brown sugar, 1 cup pumpkin puree, 0.5 cup vegetable oil, 2 large eggs, and 2 teaspoons vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and well combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix, as this can make the muffins dense.
In a small bowl, prepare the streusel topping by combining 0.5 cup all-purpose flour, 0.25 cup granulated sugar, 0.25 cup light brown sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 4 tablespoons melted unsalted butter. Mix with a fork until crumbly.
Divide the muffin batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Sprinkle the streusel topping generously over each muffin.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 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, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. These muffins are perfect for breakfast or an afternoon snack!
