Ingredients
Muffins
- 3 1/2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
- 2/3 cup vegetable oil
- 2 cups sugar
- 4 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 15 oz can pumpkin puree 1 can
- 1/2 cup water
Streusel Topping
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup all purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter melted
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Place cupcake/muffin liners in a muffin pan.
Mix the batter
- In a large bowl, gently whisk dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, spices).
- In another large bowl (or the bowl of your electric mixer), add oil, sugar, eggs, vanilla and pumpkin. Blend well. Add water and blend until fully incorporated.
- While slowly mixing, pour the dry ingredients in with the wet. Mix until just combined.
Make the streusel
- In a medium bowl mix brown sugar, flour, cinnamon and nuts (if desired). Pour in the melted butter and stir gently until the mixture is combined, but some small lumps remain.
- Scoop muffin batter into prepared pan, filling liners about 1/2-2/3 full. Top each muffin with a spoon full of streusel topping.
- Bake muffins 18-20 minutes (for standard sized muffins).
- Bake extra large muffins (as pictured) 25-28 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs, but no wet batter.
Notes
Feel free to make this recipe into Pumpkin bread instead of muffins. Divide batter between 3 standard sized loaf pans. Bake loaves (in greased and floured pans) for 50-55 minutes.
This recipe makes a lot of muffins. Feel free to cut the recipe in half, or make some muffins and a loaf of bread.
