Equipment
Ingredients
Dry Ingredients:
- 1 ¾ cups all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ½ cup chopped pecans
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 ½ teaspoon cinnamon
Liquid Ingredients:
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup of canned pumpkin, or homemade pumpkin puree
- ½ cup vegetable oil, (such as canola oil)
Topping:
- ½ cup chopped pecans
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ⅓ cup butter, softened
- ½ cup flour
- confectioners sugar, (optional, for decoration)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF and line muffin cups with paper liners.
Make muffin batter
- In a large bowl, mix all dry ingredients together: flour, granulated sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, pecans and brown sugar.
- In another bowl, prepare liquid mixture by whisking eggs together until the yolks and whites are blended. Then add vanilla, oil and pumpkin puree.
- Add the liquid mixture from step 2 to the dry ingredients mixture in step 1. Mix well with a wooden spoon.
- Prepare muffin pan by spraying it with oil, or use butter. You can also use cupcake liners instead. Use a large spoon or an ice cream scoop to fill each muffin cup completely full, if you want them to have the same mushroom top as the ones in my pictures. Otherwise, fill them ⅔ full for a normal looking muffin:).
Cinnamon Streusel Topping
- Prepare the topping for the muffins by mixing pecans, brown sugar, cinnamon, flour together. Then add cold butter (straight from the fride) by cutting it into the dry ingredients with the fork until you have a good crumble topping.
- Chill the streusel in the freezer for 20 minutes
- Sprinkle this mixture over muffins.
- Using a spoon, spread the topping evenly over each muffin.
Bake
- Bake until the muffins are springy to the touch and toothpick comes out clean, for 25 to 35 minutes. Start checking with the toothpick at 25 minutes.
- Allow them to cool for 10 minutes, then turn out onto rack to cool completely. Please keep in mind that the larger the muffin cups, the longer it will take to bake them.
- Sprinkle with confectionary sugar (optional).
