Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, sugar, oil, eggs, and vanilla extract.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, oats, and cinnamon for the crumble topping. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  6. Fill each muffin cup about ¾ full with the batter. Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the batter.
  7. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For a richer flavor, use melted butter instead of oil in the muffin batter. You can also add ½ cup of chocolate chips to the batter for a delicious twist. Store leftover muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
