Begin by mixing up your wet ingredients...
Then in a separate bowl toss together your dry ingredients.
And finally mix together that yummy streusel topping.
Divide the pumpkin batter between twelve muffin cups and sprinkle with your topping.
And bake that batter up into big beautiful muffins!
Healthy Pumpkin Streusel Muffins
Recipe adapted from: Whole Wheat Banana Bread Muffins
Streusel Topping from: Greens & Chocolate
Yield: 12
Batter
1/2 c. pure maple syrup
1/4 c. raw honey
2 large eggs
1 can puree pumpkin, 15oz
1 tsp. vanilla extract
2 c. white whole wheat flour
3/4 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
1/8 tsp. ground cloves
1/2 c. coconut oil, melted
Topping
1/4 c. rolled oats
1/2 c. white whole wheat flour
2 Tbsp. pure maple syrup
2 Tbsp. coconut oil, melted
1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon
Directions: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease a 12 cup muffin tin with nonstick spray and set aside.
In a large bowl or stand mixer, combine syrup, honey, eggs, pumpkin puree, and vanilla extract. In a seperate bowl whisk together 2 cups of white whole wheat flour, the baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.
Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix on low, using a rubber spatula periodically to scrape the sides. Once all of the dry ingredients have been added, slowly pour in the coconut oil and mix until totally combined.
Divide the batter among the muffin tin, adding a heaping 1/4 cup of batter to each cup.
Next in a small bowl combine all the ingredients for the streusel topping. Evenly sprinkle over the batter.
Bake for 20 minutes and insert a toothpick into the center of the muffin. If the toothpick, when removed comes out clean the muffins are done, if there is still wet batter on the toothpick, leave the muffins in the oven for an additional 3-5 minutes, until cooked through. Enjoy!
