You probably already have the ingredients to make homemade pumpkin spice in your pantry. These warm baking spices add the perfect fall flavor to any cake or muffins, and combined with fresh pumpkin purée are the total package for moist, delicious baked goods. I topped these muffins with a crumble, which you can mix together in about 30 seconds. It’s so easy! Bring these to a fall brunch or make them for your kids' after-school snack. However you serve them, they’ll go fast.

Ingredients
- 1½ cups pumpkin purée
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ⅓ cup maple syrup
- 1 cup olive oil
- 1 tablespoon vanilla paste
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger
- ½ teaspoon nutmeg
- ½ teaspoon ground cloves
- 2 teaspoons turmeric
- 1½ teaspoons baking powder
- 1½ teaspoons baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
For crumble
- ½ cup sugar
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon vanilla paste
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon ginger
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
- ⅛ teaspoon ground cloves
- ¼ cup olive oil or melted butter
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350°F and, if desired, line a muffin tin. (You can also grease with cooking spray. I use a silicone muffin tin so they pop out easily!)
- Add the pumpkin, eggs, sugar, maple syrup, oil, and vanilla to a blender and pulse until smooth.
- Pour the mixture into a large bowl and stir in the cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, turmeric, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and flour.
- Make the crumble. In a mixing bowl, combine the sugar, flour, vanilla, salt, nutmeg, ginger, cinnamon, and cloves. Add oil a tablespoon at a time, until the mixture is the consistency of wet sand.
- Portion the batter into a muffin tin, filling the sections about ½” from the top (this gives it more of a muffin top). If you want smaller muffins, fill it about 3/4 of the way. Add about a tablespoon of crumble on top of each well.
- Bake for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
