Ingredients
  

Muffin Base

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (or a gluten-free alternative)
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 large egg Can be replaced with 1/4 cup of unsweetened applesauce for a vegan option.
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • a pinch salt

Cinnamon Filling

  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter (or a vegan substitute)

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
  • In one bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, milk, vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
  • In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugars, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.

Mixing

  • Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined.
  • In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and cinnamon for the filling. Drizzle the melted butter on top and mix until crumbly.

Baking

  • Spoon a little of the muffin batter into each muffin cup, followed by a layer of the cinnamon filling, and then top it off with more batter. Swirl gently with a knife to create a marbled effect.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Allow the muffins to cool for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
  • Enjoy warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Avoid overmixing to keep the muffins light and fluffy. Check for doneness towards the end of baking. Feel free to add nuts or chocolate chips for extra texture.
