Ingredients  

Wet Ingredients:

  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 3/4 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1/4 cup plain greek yogurt, Icelandic yogurt or sourdough discard
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar

Dry Ingredients:

  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt half the amount if using fine sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

For the Crumble Topping:

  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup oats
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 3 tablespoons softened butter

Instructions 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a muffin pan. My favorite muffin liners are linked in the blog post above!
  2. Whisk all the wet ingredients together in a medium bowl (1/4 cup melted butter, 3/4 cup pumpkin puree, 1 egg, 1 teaspoon vanilla, 1/4 cup yogurt or sourdough discard and 1/2 cup brown sugar).
  3. Mix all the dry ingredients together in a small bowl (1 cup all purpose, flour, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg).
  4. Pour the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, gently mix to combine. 
  5. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each about 3/4th of the way full.
  6. While batter is resting in muffin liners, make the streusel topping. In a small bowl, combine 1/3 cup brown sugar, 1/3 cup oats, 2 tablespoons flour, 3 tablespoons softened butter, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. Top each muffin with some streusel topping.
  7. Bake at 350°F for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Enjoy!

Notes

Muffin Liners: These are my favorite (exact ones used in photos above) https://amzn.to/4i3IMhm
Muffin Storage: Store any leftover muffins in an air-tight container or ziplock bag at room temperature for up to 3 days. I recommend reheating them in the oven at 350°F for 4 to 5 minutes before enjoying.
