Ingredients
Scale
- 1/4 cup Granulated Sugar
- 1/4 cup Light Brown Sugar (firmly packed)
- 1 1/2 tablespoon All-Purpose Flour
- 1/4 teaspoon Cinnamon
- Pinch of Salt
- 2 tablespoons of Cold Unsalted Butter (cut into 1/4” cubes)
- 2 1/2 cups All-Purpose Flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking Powder
- 2 teaspoons Cinnamon
- 1 1/2 teaspoon Fine Sea Salt
- 1/2 teaspoon Freshly Grated Nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon Ground Allspice
- 1 (15 ounce) can Pumpkin Puree
- 1 cup Light Brown Sugar (firmly packed)
- 2/3 cup (equal to 10 tbsp) melted butter
- 3/4 cup Buttermilk
- 2 Eggs (slightly beaten)
- 2 tablespoons of Molasses
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350° F (175° C) and prepare two muffin pans by greasing them or lining them with muffin liners.
- In a small bowl, mix the Granulated Sugar, Light Brown Sugar, All-Purpose Flour, Cinnamon, and a pinch of Salt for the streusel. Use a pastry cutter or fork to work the cold butter into the mixture until well combined. Set the streusel aside in the refrigerator until needed.
- In another small bowl, mix all the dry ingredients: 2 1/2 cups All-Purpose Flour, 2 teaspoons Baking Powder, 2 teaspoons Cinnamon, 1 1/2 teaspoons Fine Sea Salt, 1/2 teaspoon Freshly Grated Nutmeg, and 1/2 teaspoon Ground Allspice. Set the bowl aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the Pumpkin Puree, 1 cup Light Brown Sugar, melted butter, Buttermilk, slightly beaten Eggs, and Molasses. Whisk all the wet ingredients together until evenly mixed.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir gently with a sturdy wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix to avoid dense muffins. Scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl and stir once more.
- Fill the muffin pans about two-thirds full with the batter and sprinkle a generous pinch of the cinnamon-sugar mixture on top. Bake the muffins for 28-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. They should be golden brown and fluffy.
