Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Delicious Pumpkin Muffins with Cinnamon Streusel Topping.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). While the oven warms up, take a moment to grease and flour 18 muffin cups to ensure your muffins come out easily after baking.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine 3/4 cup of brown sugar, 3/4 cup of white sugar, and 1/2 cup of softened butter. Use an electric mixer to beat these ingredients together until the mixture is smooth and creamy. This is where the magic begins!
Step 3
Next, add in the 2 eggs, beating them into the mixture until fully incorporated. Then, stir in 1 cup of pumpkin puree and 1/3 cup of water, blending everything together until it’s well combined. The pumpkin adds a wonderful flavor and moisture to the muffins!
Step 4
In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 3/4 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon of ground ginger, and 1/2 teaspoon of ground nutmeg. This blend of dry ingredients will give your muffins that perfect spiced flavor.
Step 5
Now, gently fold the dry mixture into the pumpkin mixture. Be careful not to overmix; just stir until everything is combined. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full to allow for rising.
Step 6
For the delicious cinnamon streusel topping, mix together 1/3 cup of brown sugar, 1 tablespoon of flour, 1 tablespoon of butter, and 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon in a small bowl. Use two forks to combine until the mixture is crumbly. Sprinkle this delightful topping generously over each muffin before baking.
Step 7
Place the muffin tray in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes. To check for doneness, insert a toothpick into the center of a muffin; if it comes out clean, they’re ready!
Step 8
Once baked, let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Enjoy these warm, or store them for later!
