Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1 cup chopped apples
- For the Streusel Topping:
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Stir in the pumpkin puree and applesauce until smooth.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Gently fold in the chopped apples.
- Prepare the streusel topping: In a small bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and cinnamon. Cut in the cold butter with a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Divide the muffin batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
- Sprinkle a generous amount of the streusel topping over each muffin.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Ensure your pumpkin puree is unsweetened for the best flavor.
- Do not overmix the batter to keep the muffins tender.
- You can substitute half of the chopped apples with chopped pears for a different flavor.
- Store cooled muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
