Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Stir to combine.
In another bowl, mix together the pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla until smooth.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Fill each muffin cup about 3/4 full with the batter.
In a small bowl, mix together the crumb topping ingredients: flour, sugar, cinnamon, and cold butter. Use your fingers or a fork to crumble the mixture.
Sprinkle the crumb topping over the batter in each muffin cup.
Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For a gluten-free version, swap the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend.
If you prefer a vegan muffin, replace the eggs with flax eggs and use coconut oil instead of butter.
These muffins can be made ahead of time and stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days or frozen for longer storage.
For extra texture, you can add chocolate chips or chopped walnuts to the batter before baking.
