Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 25 mins
Total Time: 40 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 muffins
Ingredients
- 1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 cup streusel topping
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking powder, and ground cinnamon. Whisk together to remove any lumps and ensure even distribution of dry ingredients.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, sugar, vegetable oil, and eggs until smooth and well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently fold the mixture until just combined, being careful not to overmix. Overmixing can lead to tough muffins.
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
- Sprinkle the prepared streusel topping generously over each muffin, covering the entire surface.
- Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 22-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve warm or at room temperature. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Tips
- Measure Ingredients Accurately: For the best results, use a kitchen scale to measure your gluten-free flour. This ensures consistency and prevents dry or dense muffins.
- Don’t Overmix: When combining the wet and dry ingredients, mix just until combined. Overmixing can lead to tough muffins, so be gentle!
- Customize Your Topping: Feel free to add nuts, chocolate chips, or dried fruits to your streusel topping for an extra layer of flavor and texture.
- Check for Doneness: Since ovens can vary, start checking your muffins a couple of minutes before the suggested baking time. A toothpick should come out clean when they’re done.
- Storage Tips: Keep your muffins fresh by storing them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. They can also be frozen for later enjoyment—just reheat them in the oven for a few minutes when you’re ready to eat!
