Description
Soft and spiced with cozy pumpkin flavor, these muffins are topped with a sweet streusel and loaded with hearty oats—perfect for fall mornings.
Ingredients
1 cup all-purpose flour
½ cup packed brown sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon baking soda
1 large egg, room temperature, lightly beaten
¾ cup canned pumpkin puree
¼ cup 2% milk
¼ cup vegetable or canola oil
1 cup old-fashioned oats
Optional Add-ins:
½ cup raisins
1 cup chopped walnuts
½ cup chocolate chips (regular or mini)
For the Streusel Topping:
⅓ cup packed brown sugar
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
¾ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1 tablespoon cold butter
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin pan with paper or silicone liners and lightly spritz with non-stick cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, salt, and baking soda.
In a separate bowl, combine the egg, pumpkin puree, milk, and oil. Whisk until well blended.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir just until combined.
Fold in the oats and any optional add-ins (raisins, walnuts, or chocolate chips) if using.
Fill each muffin liner about ¾ full with batter.
For the streusel topping, mix together the brown sugar, flour, and pumpkin pie spice. Cut in the cold butter using two forks until the mixture becomes crumbly.
Sprinkle approximately 2 teaspoons of the streusel topping over each muffin.
Bake for 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow muffins to cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes, then transfer to the rack to cool completely.
Notes
You can use whole wheat flour for a healthier twist, though it may slightly alter the texture.
These muffins freeze well for up to 3 months. Simply thaw before serving.
Feel free to mix and match the optional add-ins to suit your preference!
