How to Make Healthy Pumpkin Muffins

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, eggs, oil, maple syrup, and vanilla extract.
  4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.
  6. For the crumble topping (optional): Combine the flour, oats, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a small bowl. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  7. Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the muffin batter.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
