  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

To bring these muffins to life, you’ll need a few simple ingredients that you likely already have in your pantry. Here’s what you’ll need:

  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 cup diced apples (I love using Granny Smith for their tartness)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • For the Streusel Topping:
    • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
    • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
    • 1/4 cup brown sugar
    • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

If you’re looking for substitutions, you can swap the butter for coconut oil for a dairy-free version, or use gluten-free flour to accommodate dietary needs.

Instructions

Now that you have your ingredients ready, let’s bring these muffins to life. Follow these steps for a delightful baking experience:

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Whisk until smooth.
  4. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the pumpkin puree and vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Fold in the diced apples, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  7. For the streusel topping, mix the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a small bowl. Add the melted butter and combine until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  8. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full. Sprinkle the streusel topping generously over each muffin.
  9. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  10. Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
