Ingredients

• 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup light brown sugar packed
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon fine salt
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup pumpkin purée
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1/3 cup Pumpkin Spice Savory Infused Olive Oil Blend
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Cinnamon Streusel Topping
• 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/3 cup light brown sugar packed
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 3 tablespoons cold unsalted butter cubed
• Pinch fine salt

Equipment

• 1 12-cup muffin pan lined or lightly greased
• 2 Mixing bowls one large, one small
• 1 whisk for wet ingredients
• 1 Spatula for folding batter
• 1 Fork for streusel
• 1 wire rack for cooling

Method

 

Instructions

1. 1. Preheat the oven to 375°F and line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners or lightly grease the cups.
2. 2. Make the streusel topping by stirring together the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt in a small bowl, then cut in the cold butter with a fork until the mixture looks crumbly. Set aside.
3. 3. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt.
4. 4. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, pumpkin purée, milk, Pumpkin Spice Savory Infused Olive Oil Blend, and vanilla until smooth.
5. 5. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and fold gently with a spatula just until combined; do not overmix.
6. 6. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
7. 7. Top each muffin with a generous spoonful of streusel, pressing lightly so it adheres.
8. 8. Bake for 20 to 22 minutes, or until the tops are domed and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
9. 9. Cool the muffins in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to finish cooling before serving.

Notes

The olive oil blend adds a warm spice layer that complements the pumpkin without making the muffins heavy. For the best texture, measure the flour lightly and keep the butter cold for the streusel. Muffins are best the day they are baked, but they rewarm well the next morning.

Recipe Tips

Do not overmix the batter once the flour goes in; a few streaks are fine and help keep the muffins tender. Fill the muffin cups about three-quarters full so they rise evenly under the streusel. If the topping looks like it is browning too quickly, loosely cover the pan for the last few minutes of baking.

Serving Suggestions

Serve these muffins warm with coffee, chai, or cold milk for a simple breakfast treat. They also fit nicely on a brunch platter with fruit, yogurt, or scrambled eggs. For dessert, add a light drizzle of maple glaze or a swipe of salted butter.

Storage

Store cooled muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, refrigerate for up to 5 days and warm before serving. These muffins also freeze well; wrap individually and thaw at room temperature.

Variations

Fold in chopped pecans for extra crunch, or add a handful of chocolate chips for a sweeter bakery-style version. You can swap the streusel topping for coarse sugar if you want a simpler finish. A cream cheese glaze works well when you want a richer brunch presentation.
