Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (218°C) and line a muffin pan with liners.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, mix oil, granulated sugar, brown sugar, pumpkin puree, eggs, and milk until well combined.
  4. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
  5. Fill muffin liners almost to the top.
  6. Make the crumb topping by combining flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and melted butter. Mix until crumbs form.
  7. Sprinkle crumb topping evenly over each muffin.
  8. Bake at 425°F (218°C) for 5 minutes, then reduce temperature to 350°F (177°C) and bake for an additional 16–17 minutes.
  9. Let muffins cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
  10. For the icing, whisk confectioners’ sugar, maple syrup, and milk until smooth. Drizzle over cooled muffins if desired.

Notes

For best results, do not overmix the batter. Muffins stay fresh covered at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerated for 1 week.
