Instructions
Prepare
- Preheat oven to 425°F, line 2 standard muffins pans with liners, or spray with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
Mix dry ingredients
- To a large mixing bowl, add the dry ingredients (flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, salt, and ground nutmeg. Whisk to combine, then set aside.
Mix wet ingredients
- In another smaller mixing bowl, add the wet ingredients (vegetable oil, granulated sugar, brown sugar, pumpkin puree, eggs, buttermilk, and vanilla. Whisk well to combine until smooth.
Combine
- Pour the wet ingredients into the mixing bowl with the dry ingredients, then stir everything together with a rubber spatula until just combined and no flour streaks remain.
Scoop batter
- Scoop or transfer batter to prepared muffin pans, filling each liner about 2/3 - 3/4 of the way full.
Make streusel
- To a small mixing bowl, add the streusel topping ingredients (except the melted butter). Use a fork to stir together, then continue using the fork to stir in the melted butter, until crumbs form.
- Spoon or sprinkle some of the streusel crumbs onto each muffin, very gently pressing them down so they stay put.
Bake
- Bake in 425°F preheated oven for 5 minutes, then keep the muffins in the oven and reduce the oven temperature to 350°F. Continue baking for another 15-17 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
Cool
- Let muffins cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire cooling rack to continue cooling.
- Once muffins are at room temperature, dust with powdered sugar if desired.
