Ingredients
Muffin Batter Ingredients:
- 1¾ Cups Flour
- 1 Tsp Baking Soda
- 2 Tsp Ground Cinnamon
- 1 Tsp Pumpkin Pie Spice
- 1/2 Tsp Salt
- 1 Stick Unsalted Butter (melted)
- 1/2 Cup Sugar
- 1/2 Cup Brown Sugar
- 1½ Cups Pumpkin Puree (canned)
- 2 Eggs at room temperature
- 1/4 cup Milk at room temperature
- Optional: Nestles Pumpkin Spice Latte Flavor Morsels (8oz Bag)
Crumb Topping Ingredients:
- 3/4 Cup Flour
- 1/4 Cup Sugar
- 1/4 Cup Brown Sugar
- 1 Tsp Pumpkin Pie Spice
- 6 Tbsp Unsalted butter (melted)
Instructions
- Prepare the Crumble Topping: In a medium bowl, combine ¾ cup flour, ¼ cup sugar, ¼ cup brown sugar, and 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice. Add 6 tablespoons of melted unsalted butter and mix with a fork until the mixture forms a crumbly texture. Set aside.
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 450°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly.
- Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together 1¾ cups flour, 1 tsp baking soda, 2 tsp ground cinnamon, 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice, and ½ tsp salt.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In another large bowl, mix 1 stick melted butter, ½ cup sugar, and ½ cup brown sugar until smooth. Add 1½ cups pumpkin puree and mix well. Beat in 2 eggs, one at a time, until fully incorporated. Stir in ¼ cup milk until combined.
- Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, gently folding until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy. Fold in the optional Nestles Pumpkin Spice Latte Flavor Morsels (8oz Bag)
- Fill the Muffin Tin: Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.
- Add the Crumble Topping: Sprinkle the prepared crumble topping generously over each muffin, pressing it down lightly so it sticks.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated 450 degrees f oven for 5 minutes then reduce the temperature to 350 degrees f for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
