Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Line 12 muffin cups with muffin liners and spray with cooking spray. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, sugars, vegetable oil, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix well.
- Add the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and salt.
- Incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet, stirring until well combined
- Scoop batter into prepared muffin tins, filing just over ⅔ of the way. Set aside.
- To make the streusel, combine all streusel ingredients in a medium bowl. Stir together until the mixture resembles wet sand. Sprinkle the streusel over the muffin batter, dividing it evenly among the 12 muffins.
- Bake for 15-17 minutes at 375°F depending on the size of your muffins. Take the muffins out when a knife inserted into the center comes out mostly clean. Allow to cool slightly.
- While the muffins cool, make the glaze. Combine all the ingredients into a small bowl and mix to combine. Drizzle the glaze over the muffins and serve!
Notes
- Make sure you are using pumpkin puree and not pumpkin pie mix! The only ingredient listened on the back should be pumpkin!
