Ingredients
Scale
- ½ cup butter, melted
- 1 cup cane sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ¾ cup sour cream
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ½ tsp baking soda
- 1 ½ tsp baking powder
- 1 ½ tsp pumpkin pie spice
- ¾ tsp cinnamon
- ¾ tsp kosher salt
- ¼ cup cold butter (for streusel)
- ½ cup flour (for streusel)
- ⅓ cup brown sugar (for streusel)
- ½ tsp cinnamon (for streusel)
- ½ cup powdered sugar (for icing)
- ½ tsp vanilla extract (for icing)
- 1 ½ tsp water (for icing)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a large bowl, stir together melted butter, cane sugar, vanilla extract, sour cream, pumpkin puree, and eggs.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
- For the streusel topping, mix together the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and cold butter. Use your hands to break the butter into small cubes, then work it into the dry mixture to form crumbs.
- Line a muffin tin with paper liners. Use a large cookie scoop to fill each muffin cup with batter.
- Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the batter in each muffin cup.
- Bake at 425°F for 5 minutes. Then reduce the temperature to 375°F and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Allow the muffins to cool.
- For the icing, stir together powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and water. Drizzle the icing over the cooled muffins.
Notes
- For best results, use real butter instead of margarine.
- Ensure you’re using pumpkin puree and not pumpkin pie filling.
- Store leftover muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
- Press the streusel gently into the batter before baking to prevent it from falling off during cooking.
- If desired, you can add chocolate chips or nuts to the batter for added texture and flavor.
