Instructions
Creating these delightful Pumpkin Streusel Muffins is easy if you follow these steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt.
3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, mix the pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until well blended.
4. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix; a few lumps are okay.
5. Prepare the Streusel Topping: In a separate bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon for the topping. Cut in the cold butter using a fork or pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the rolled oats and nuts, if using.
6. Fill Muffin Tin: Spoon the muffin batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about ¾ full.
7. Add Streusel Topping: Sprinkle a generous amount of streusel topping over each muffin.
8. Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
9. Cool: Once baked, remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 10 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. Serve: Enjoy these muffins warm or at room temperature, either plain or with a pat of butter.
