Instructions
For the Cinnamon Streusel
- In a medium mixing bowl, stir the flour, sugar, and cinnamon.
- Cut in the cold butter with a pastry cutter or a fork.
- Then, use your fingers to squish the butter into the streusel until it comes together and is crumbly. Set aside.
For the Pumpkin Muffins
- Preheat the oven to 425 and line two muffin pans with 16 total liners.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the canola oil, granulated sugar, brown sugar, pumpkin puree, eggs, buttermilk, and vanilla.
- Add the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, and salt. Fold together using a rubber spatula. Don’t over mix.
- Use a large ice cream scoop with a trigger to portion the muffin batter into the prepared pan. The liners should be almost filled to the top.
- Top each muffin with about 2 tsp of the cinnamon crumble.
- Bake at 425 for 5 minutes, then lower the oven temperature to 350 and continue to cook for another 20-22 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Allow to cool.
For the Maple Glaze
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk the powdered sugar and cinnamon.
- Stir in the maple syrup and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Add in the heavy cream a little at a time until you reach your desired consistency.
- Pour the glaze over each muffin right before serving.
Notes
- Muffins will keep at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the fridge for up to a week.
- If making ahead, wait until right before serving to drizzle on the glaze so that the streusel stays crunchy!
