Ingredients

For the Streusel:

3/4 cup salted butter, melted (170g)

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (195g)

1/4 cup granulated sugar (54g)

1/4 cup brown sugar, packed (55g)

1 1/2 tsp cinnamon

1/2 tsp nutmeg

1/4 tsp salt

For the Muffins:

1 (15 oz) can pumpkin puree (not pie filling)

1 1/2 cups vegetable oil (337mL)

3/4 cup brown sugar, packed (165g)

1 cup granulated sugar (215g)

4 large eggs

1 tsp vanilla extract

3 cups all-purpose flour (390g)

1 1/4 tsp salt

2 tsp baking powder

2 tsp baking soda

2 tsp cinnamon

1 1/4 tsp ginger

3/4 tsp nutmeg

1/4 tsp cloves

1/8 tsp cardamom (optional)

For the Maple Glaze:

1 1/2 cups powdered sugar (173g)

2 tbsp real maple syrup (30g)

2 tbsp milk (30g, any type)

Cinnamon, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. Make the streusel: Melt butter, then stir in flour, sugars, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until crumbly. Add more flour if too wet.
  3. Make the muffins: In a large bowl, whisk pumpkin puree, oil, both sugars, eggs, and vanilla. Stir in flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and spices until just combined.
  4. Fill muffin cups 2/3 full with batter. Sprinkle generously with streusel, pressing lightly.
  5. Bake 18–23 minutes, until a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs.
  6. Make the glaze: Whisk powdered sugar, maple syrup, milk, and cinnamon until smooth.
  7. Drizzle glaze over warm muffins and serve.

Notes

Add chopped pecans or walnuts to the streusel for extra crunch.

Substitute part of the oil with melted butter for richer flavor.

Make mini muffins and bake for 12–15 minutes.

Freeze muffins without glaze, then thaw and glaze before serving.

Swap spices for 2–3 tsp pumpkin pie spice if desired.
