These pumpkin spice muffins come together quickly with simple pantry ingredients. The key to their tender texture is avoiding overmixing the batter once the dry ingredients are added. For the best flavor, make sure your spices are fresh - their potency diminishes over time.

For variations, try adding 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts, pecans, or chocolate chips to the batter. You can also substitute whole wheat flour for half of the all-purpose flour for a heartier texture. For a special occasion, drizzle cooled muffins with a simple glaze made from powdered sugar and a splash of milk.

Equipment Needed

Step 1: Preheating ensures even baking and proper rise.

Step 2: Whisking dry ingredients separately ensures even distribution of leavening agents and spices.

Step 3: Room temperature eggs incorporate more easily into the batter.

Step 4: Overmixing develops gluten, resulting in tough muffins.

Step 5: Cold butter creates the perfect crumbly texture for streusel.

Step 6: An ice cream scoop works perfectly for portioning batter evenly.

Step 7: Press the streusel lightly into the batter so it adheres during baking.

Step 8: Rotate the pan halfway through baking for even browning.

Step 9: Cooling in the pan for a few minutes helps muffins set up before removing.

Step 10: To refresh day-old muffins, warm them in the microwave for 10-15 seconds.
