Instructions

1
|
Preheat the oven to 350℉ and prepare regular-sized muffin tins with either non-stick spray or muffin liners.
2
|
Cream together the softened butter and white sugar for 1 minute. Add the eggs and pumpkin puree and continue mixing until incorporated.
3
|
In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and spices. Add to the wet ingredients and mix on low speed just until incorporated.
4
|
Scoop the muffin batter into the prepared tins. Stir together the melted butter, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, and chopped pecans to make a streusel. Sprinkle on top of the batter and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a tester inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool in muffin tins for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to finish cooling. Enjoy!

Tips & Tricks (5)

  • Pecan Toasting Magic 🥜
    Always toast pecans before adding to the streusel to unlock their deepest, most complex flavor and enhance their natural crunch.
  • Pumpkin Moisture Control 💧
    Pat your pumpkin puree dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture and prevent dense, soggy muffins.
  • Streusel Texture Trick 🍁
    Use cold butter and work it into the streusel mixture with your fingertips to create perfect, crumbly texture that will crisp beautifully when baked.
  • Spice Layering Technique 🌶️
    Mix your ground spices (cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves) separately before adding to ensure even distribution and maximum flavor complexity.
  • Muffin Pan Pro Tip 🧁
    Use high-quality parchment paper liners or generously grease your muffin tin with butter to ensure easy removal and perfect muffin shape.
