Ingredients

  • FOR THE STREUSEL (optional):
  • 3 Tablespoons Quick Cooking Oats
  • 1 Tablespoon Chopped Walnuts Or Pecans
  • 1/2 teaspoons Pumpkin Pie Spice
  • 2-1/2 Tablespoons Stick Butter, Cubed
  • FOR THE MUFFINS:
  • 1-1/3 cup Whole Wheat Flour
  • 1/4 cups Brown Sugar (optional)
  • 2 Tablespoons Cornstarch
  • 1 Tablespoon Pumpkin Pie Spice
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
  • 1/4 teaspoons Baking Soda
  • 1/4 teaspoons Salt
  • 2 Large Eggs
  • 1 can (15 Oz. Size) Pumpkin
  • 1/2 cups Runny Honey
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract

Method

  • Preheat oven to 330°F. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with nonstick muffin liners.
  • If making the streusel, mix oats, chopped nuts and pumpkin pie spice in a medium bowl. Add the butter and rub it into the dry ingredients with your fingertips until crumbs form. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk dry ingredients (flour, sugar, cornstarch, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, baking soda, and salt). In a separate measuring jug, whisk the wet ingredients (eggs, pumpkin, honey, vanilla).
  • Pour wet ingredients into the bowl with dry ingredients. Fold just until combined, do not overmix. The batter will be quite thick.
  • Evenly distribute muffin batter between prepared muffin cups (I find it works out the neatest if I do this with a large cookie scoop). Add streusel, if desired.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 23-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the middle of a muffin comes out just clean.
