👩🍳 Instructions
1. Preheat and Prep
Set your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a muffin pan with paper liners and set aside.
2. Combine Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, pumpkin spice, and salt.
3. Mix the Wet Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together the oil, both sugars, pumpkin puree, eggs, and milk until smooth and well blended.
4. Combine Wet and Dry
Gradually stir the dry mixture into the wet until just combined—don’t overmix. Divide batter evenly among muffin cups, filling nearly full.
5. Prepare Streusel
In a small bowl, combine the flour, sugars, pumpkin spice, and melted butter. Mix with a fork until crumbly. Sprinkle a generous amount on top of each muffin.
6. Bake
Bake at 425°F for 5 minutes, then lower the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and bake for another 15–17 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
7. Make the Glaze
While muffins cool slightly, whisk together powdered sugar, cinnamon, and milk in a small bowl until smooth and pourable.
8. Finish and Serve
Drizzle the cinnamon glaze over warm (not hot) muffins. Enjoy warm or let them cool completely.
