Ingredients
Scale
Cinnamon Streusel:
- ¾ cup (98g) all-purpose flour
- ⅓ cup (68g) brown sugar
- ⅓ cup (68g) granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ cup (57g) unsalted butter, melted
Cinnamon Swirl:
- 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Pumpkin Muffin Batter:
- ¾ cup (96g) all-purpose flour
- ½ cup (64g) cake flour
- 1 cup (210g) granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
- 2 large eggs (at room temperature)
- ⅔ cup (120g) vegetable or canola oil
- 1 cup (240g) pumpkin puree
Maple Glaze:
- 1 cup (112g) powdered sugar
- 2 teaspoons milk
- 1 teaspoon maple flavoring
Instructions
- Cinnamon Streusel: In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugars, and cinnamon. Add the melted butter and mix with a fork until the mixture is fully combined and crumbly. Set aside.
- Cinnamon Swirl: In a small bowl, combine the sugar and cinnamon. Set aside.
- Pumpkin Muffin Batter: Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a 12-count muffin pan with cupcake liners, or grease each tin lightly with cooking spray. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flours, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and spices. Add the eggs, oil, and pumpkin and gently whisk just until no streaks of flour remain.
- Scoop half of the muffin batter into the prepared muffin tins using a 2 Tablespoon (size 30 or 1 oz.) cookie scoop. Sprinkle each tin of batter with about ½ teaspoon of the cinnamon sugar mixture, then add another 2 Tablespoon size scoop of the batter. The tins should be about ¾ full. Crumble streusel over the top of each muffin and gently press it down into the batter to keep it from falling off during baking.
- Bake the muffins for 5 minutes at 425°F. Leave the muffins in the oven and reduce the temperature to 350°F and bake for another 15-17 minutes. The muffins should bake for a total of 20-22 minutes. Allow muffins cool for 10-15 minutes before glazing.
- Maple Glaze: Whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and maple flavoring until well combined. Once the muffins are slightly cool, use a whisk or a spoon or drizzle the glaze over the top of each muffin. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- For best results, use room temperature ingredients.
- Feel free to add chopped nuts or dried fruits to the streusel for extra flavor and texture.
