Ingredients

Scale

Muffin Batter

  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree (fresh or canned)
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Crumb Topping

  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened (room temperature)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crumb Topping: Mix together softened butter, brown sugar, all-purpose flour, and cinnamon in a bowl until crumbly. Set aside to use as topping.
  2. Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves to distribute spices and leavening evenly.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, beat the eggs with granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and pumpkin puree until smooth and well blended.
  4. Bring Wet and Dry Together: Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring just until combined to keep the batter tender and light.
  5. Fill the Muffin Cups: Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it. Spoon the batter evenly into each muffin cup. Generously sprinkle the prepared crumb topping on each.
  6. Bake Until Golden: Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and the crumb topping is golden brown.

Notes

  • Use room temperature eggs and butter for easier mixing and fluffier muffins.
  • Do not overmix the batter to avoid tough muffins.
  • Use fresh ground spices for the best flavor.
  • Measure flour by spooning lightly into the cup for accurate results.
  • Check muffins a few minutes before the suggested bake time, as ovens vary.
