Ingredients

Pumpkin Muffins

  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • ½ cup canola oil or vegetable oil
  • 1 (15-ounce) can pumpkin puree
  • 5 large eggs room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup buttermilk
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour sifted
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ½ teaspoon ground cloves
  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger

Crumb Topping

  • ½ cup (1 stick) butter, softened
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1-2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Instructions

Crumb Topping

  • In a medium bowl, combine the crumb topping ingredients with your hands and set aside.

Pumpkin Muffins

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a jumbo muffin pan with paper cupcake papers.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk the sugar, brown sugar, flour, baking soda, powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and ginger. Whisk together until combined.
  • Add oil, eggs, pumpkin puree, buttermilk, vanilla extract and incorporate with a whisk or rubber spatula. Be sure to whisk out any lumps.
  • Scoop batter evenly into 12 jumbo muffin tins lined with paper cupcake liners. Spoon crumb topping evenly over batter.
  • Bake for 35-38 minutes, or until a toothpick when inserted comes out mostly clean, with a few moist crumbs. You can also test by very gently pressing your finger on the center of the muffin to see if it’s completely set.
  • Let cool in baking pans for 10 minutes before removing from the pan. Remove from the pan and let cool completely on a wire cooling rack.
  • Enjoy immediately or once completely cooled, store in an airtight container at room. They will stay fresh for several days.

Notes

Muffin pan
While we used a jumbo muffin pan, you can use a regular size muffin pan with tulip paper cups.
