Pumpkin Muffins
In a large bowl, whisk pumpkin purée, oil, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
Gently fold the flour, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, and salt into the wet ingredients with a rubber spatula until no dry streaks of flour remain. Be careful not to overmix.
270 grams all purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 2 ½ teaspoons pumpkin pie spice, ½ teaspoon salt
Place paper liners in every other cup of a 12-cup muffin pan. Divide the batter between the cups, filling each almost to the top. Sprinkle the chilled streusel generously over each muffin.
Bake the muffins at 425°F for 5 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 350°F (180°C). Continue baking for 15-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs attached.
Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Maple Glaze
Whisk together powdered sugar, maple syrup, and heavy cream in a small bowl until smooth.
60 grams powdered sugar, 20 grams maple syrup, 2 tablespoons heavy cream
Drizzle the icing over cooled muffins and serve!
Notes
Store leftover muffins in an airtight container with a paper towel inside for up to 4 days.Freeze the muffins in a freezer bag without the glaze for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight and ice when it's time to serve.
