Instructions

Pecan Streusel

  • Place melted butter, flour, turbinado sugar, pecans, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt into a medium sized bowl and stir to combine. Set aside.

Pumpkin Muffins

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F and grease a standard 12-slot non-stick muffin with cooking spray. Set aside.
  • Place melted butter, brown sugar, maple syrup, egg, vanilla, and pumpkin into a large bowl and whisk until smooth.
  • Use a spatula to fold in the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and salt until *just* combined.
  • Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, then sprinkle each muffin with the streusel.*
  • Bake in preheated oven for 5 minutes.
  • Reduce the oven to 350 degrees F (leave the muffins in the oven) and bake for an additional 13-15 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out nearly clean.
  • Remove from the oven, cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes, then gently remove the muffins onto a wire rack to finish cooling until you’re ready to enjoy!

Notes

*Try to put the streusel in the middle and not over the edges; it tends to slide off to the sides as the muffins bake. If any of the streusel falls off while you’re removing them from the pan, just place it back on!
