Ingredients
  

Muffin Batter
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 cup grated apple (about one small apple)
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 egg egg
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Streusel Topping
  • 1/4 cup rolled oats
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon butter (for streusel)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly to prevent sticking.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well combined.
  3. In another bowl, mix the pumpkin puree, grated apple, sugar, egg, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix, as this can lead to dense muffins.
  5. In a small bowl, mix the rolled oats, brown sugar, and butter together until crumbly.
  6. Spoon the muffin batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full. Top each muffin with a generous amount of streusel.
Baking
  1. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  2. Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.

Notes

For a nutty twist, consider adding chopped nuts (like walnuts) to the batter. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days or freeze for longer storage. Microwave for 15-20 seconds to reheat.
