Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • ½ tsp nutmeg
  • ½ cup brown sugar (for streusel)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a muffin tin or line it with paper liners.
  2. In a small bowl, mix together brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, and melted butter for the streusel topping until crumbly; set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.

  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
