Leah, as promised, here's another.... Pumpkin Streusel muffins
Streusel : 2 TBSP.light brown sugar 2 TBSP. chopped nuts 1 TBSP. all-purpose flour 1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon 1 TBSP. margarine or butter,softened a little
Muffins: 1 large egg,beaten 1/2 cup milk ( whole or 2% ) 1/2 cup canned pumpkin ( plain-NOT pie mix) 1/3 cup vegetable oil 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour 1/2 cup sugar 3 tsp. baking powder 1/2 tsp. salt 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon 1/2 tsp. ground nutmeg 1/4 tsp. ground cloves 1/4 cup chopped nuts 1/4 cup raisins ( optional- I don't use them**)
Grease or line with paper cups 6 Texas size or 12 regular size muffin tins. In a small bowl ,combine all streusel ingredients; cutting in the butter with a pastry blender or two knives to resemble fine crumbs (don't worry if it sticks all together a bit).
In a large bowl, comine all the wet ingredients ; egg, milk,pumpkin and oil. Mix well with a whisk. In another large bowl, combine all the remaining ingredients,except the nuts and raisins, whisking well to combine. Add the egg/pumpkin mixture all at once to the dry ingredeints, stirring just until all flour is moistened. add the chopped nuts and raisins(if using). Spoon batter into prepared muffin tins , dividing evenly. Sprinkle the streusel topping over muffins, dividing evenly. Bake muffins in a preheated 400°F. oven for 18-22 minutes or until centers test done and topping is golden brown. ** for convection ovens..380-385°F for 15-17 minutes ( at least this is what I bake at,at work). Cool for several minutes,then remove from pans to a wire rack to cool completely.
This recipe doubles,triples,(up to 4 times) real good. Enjoy!! Sharon
