Ingredients
  

  • 1 3/4 cup all purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/2 tsp cloves
  • 1/4 tsp all spice
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 15 oz can pumpkin puree minus 2 tbsp
  • 2 eggs room temperature
  • 1/4 cup milk

Streusel Topping

  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 6 tbsp melted butter

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • Line a 12 cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  • Whisk the dry ingredients together in a large bowl: flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and all spice.
  • In a separate bowl, stir together the sour cream, sugar, brown sugar, and pumpkin.* Mix until well combined.
  • Add the eggs to the wet ingredients one at a time, stirring between each egg.
  • Add the milk to the wet ingredients.
  • Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Make sure that everything gets combined, but don't over mix.
  • Spoon the batter into the muffin tins, filling them about 2/3 full. I used a cookie scoop, but you can use a big spoon.
  • Make the streusel.
  • Melt the butter. I do this in the microwave.
  • While the butter is melting, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a bowl.
  • Toss the melted butter into the dry ingredients. DO NOT STIR the butter into the dry ingredients or you will not make crumbs. I pour it in, toss it with a fork until combined, and then mix it/make crumbs with my hands.
  • Top the muffin batter with the streusel crumbs, pressing down lightly so they stick.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for about 24 minutes. They are done when you test them with a toothpick and there are only a few crumbs.

Notes

  • I think you could probably use the entire can of pumpkin, but I wanted a rather thick batter, so I left out about 2 tbsp.
