Method
Prepare the Muffin Batter
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease with non-stick spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the canned pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined. This mixture will create a moist base for the muffins.
- In another bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Sifting helps to aerate the flour and remove any lumps.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to dense muffins.
Make the Streusel Topping
- In a small bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, melted butter, and cinnamon. Mix with a fork until crumbly. This will create a crunchy topping for the muffins.
Bake the Muffins
- Spoon the muffin batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about ⅔ 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. This ensures that the muffins are fully cooked inside.
- Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
