Ingredients
For the streusel:
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup firmly packed light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- pinch of kosher salt
- 5 tablespoon cold unsalted butter cut into small chunks
- 1 cup Chopped Pecans
For the muffins:
- 1 ¾ cups all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ tablespoons cinnamon
- 1 ½ teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 ½ cups sugar
- ½ cup canola oil

Instructions

Cup of Yum
To make the streusel:
- Combine the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon and salt in a medium bowl. Using a pastry blender, cut the butter into the flour mixture until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs. (If you prefer, you could also combine the dry ingredients and butter in a food processor and pulse to blend.) Stir in the pecans. Set aside.
To make the muffins:
- Whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a medium bowl. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together sugar, oil, water, pumpkin, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth. Slowly fold in the flour mixture. Mix until ingredients are combined. Add ¾ cup of the streusel to the mixture and stir until the streusel is just distributed throughout the batter.
- Divide batter among the muffin cups and top each muffin with remaining streusel. Bake 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of muffin comes out clean. Allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- You can use walnuts instead of pecans, or omit the nuts, if desired.
- Store these muffins in a sealed container for up to 3 days.
