Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and fully combined.

Step 4

Gradually add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 5

Fold in the chopped pecans into the batter gently.

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.

Step 7

To make the streusel topping, stir together the 1/4 cup flour, 1/4 cup brown sugar, and the melted butter in a small bowl until crumbly. Mix in the chopped pecans.

Step 8

Sprinkle the streusel evenly over each muffin.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 10

Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
