A simple, forgiving pumpkin muffin recipe that requires only one bowl and minimal equipment. These muffins are moist, flavorful, and topped with a buttery streusel crumble, perfect for busy mornings or meal prep.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (plus extra for streusel)
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree (100% pure, not pie filling)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter (cooled)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup milk or buttermilk
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp ginger
  • 1/4 tsp cloves
  • For Streusel: 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • For Streusel: 2 tbsp packed brown sugar
  • For Streusel: 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • For Streusel: 2 tbsp cold cubed butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with liners or grease lightly.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together melted butter, granulated sugar, and pumpkin puree until smooth.
  3. Stir in the egg and milk until fully incorporated.
  4. Add flour, baking powder, baking soda, and spices to the wet mixture. Gently fold until just combined; do not overmix. The batter should remain slightly lumpy.
  5. In a small bowl, combine streusel ingredients (flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, cold butter). Rub butter into dry ingredients with fingers until coarse crumbs form.
  6. Divide batter evenly among muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
  7. Top each muffin with a generous amount of streusel, pressing slightly to adhere.
  8. Bake for 20-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Ensure pumpkin puree is not watery; drain if necessary. Keep butter cold for the streusel to maintain texture. Do not overmix the batter to avoid tough muffins. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
