  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar packed
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/3 cup almond milk
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Dash of cinnamon
  • Dash of pumpkin pie spice or allspice
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, using spoon and level method

For the Streusel Topping

  • 1/4 cup brown sugar packed
  • 3 tbsp softened butter
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • Pinch cinnamon
  • Pinch of pumpkin pie spice or allspice
  • 1/4 cup + 1 tbsp rolled oats

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375ºF. Line a muffin tray with muffin liners and set aside.

For the Muffin Batter

  • In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the melted vegan butter, white sugar and packed brown sugar until well combined.
  • Next, add in pumpkin purée, almond milk, salt, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice (allspice) and whisk together.
  • Next, add in baking powder and flour and whisk until combined. At this point you can also use a spatula to mix in the flour if the dough is getting stuck in the whisk.
  • Take your muffin tray and using a cookie scooper, scoop the muffin batter evenly into each muffin liner. Set aside.

For the Streusel Topping

  • In a small bowl, combine all ingredients for the streusel topping together and mix with your hands. The topping should be creamy and smooth.
  • Sprinkle some streusel topping over each muffin, then place in the oven and bake for 35 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean. Let cool for 10-15 minutes and enjoy!
