Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 cups (280 g) all-purpose flour (see notes)
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 cup (115 g) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 1/4 cups (250 g) brown sugar
- 1 cup (240 g) pure pumpkin puree
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- ½ cup (120 ml) buttermilk
- 1/2 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
Crumb Topping (optional)
- ½ cup (100 g) sugar
- 1/3 cup (47 g) all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup (58 g) butter, softened
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Glaze (optional)
- 1 cup (120 g) powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoon (30 ml) milk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350º F (180º C). Line a muffin pan with cupcake liners.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and pumpkin pie spice. Set aside.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, pumpkin puree, vanilla, buttermilk, and vinegar.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix just until combined. Spoon the batter into liners.
Make crumble:
- Add the sugar, flour, and cinnamon to a medium bowl and stir to combine.
- Add the butter and use a fork, or pastry cutter, to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture is made of coarse crumbs.
- Sprinkle the mixture evenly over all of the muffins.
Bake:
- Bake for about 25 -30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the muffins to cool for 20 minutes in the muffin pan, then transfer to a wire rack to continue cooling.
Glaze (optional):
- When muffins are cool, whisk together the powdered sugar and milk and drizzle over the tops.
Notes
Store: Muffins stay fresh, covered at room temperature for 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
Freeze: Muffins can be frozen for up to 3 months. To freeze muffins, I just let them cool completely. Then wrap them in foil and place them in a freezer bag. You can thaw muffins just by leaving them at room temperature or heat un-wrap frozen muffins in the microwave for 30 seconds.
Quick Bread: Here is Eggless Pumpkin Bread Recipe, which is baked in a loaf pan.
Recipe Tips:
- If you don’t have pumpkin pie spice, you can make your own by combining 2 tsp cinnamon, ¼ tsp nutmeg, ¼ tsp cloves, and ¼ tsp allspice.
- Don’t overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter may result in pumpkin muffins that do not rise well and may become dense in the center. Avoid using a mixer and hand-mix the batter.
- If you do not want to use paper liners for the pumpkin muffins, be sure to grease and flour the pan generously.
- These Eggless Pumpkin Crumb Muffins are great as a lunchbox snack, so I usually make a batch and freeze it for later use. This is the container I use to pack them into the lunchbox.
