Ingredients

  • 2 cups 9 oz all-purpose or white whole wheat flour
  • 2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup firmly packed light brown sugar
  • ¾ cup buttermilk
  • 8 tablespoons melted salted butter or a stick of I Can’t Believe it’s Not Butter
  • ½ cup maple syrup
  • cup canned pumpkin
  • 1 large egg
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

TOPPING:

  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose or white whole wheat flour
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons walnuts chopped
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons cold butter or from an ICBINB stick

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Spray 16 muffin cups with flour-added baking spray or line with paper liners.
  • In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice and salt. Stir well, then stir in the brown sugar.
  • In a second bowl, combine the buttermilk, butter, syrup, pumpkin, egg and vanilla. Add to the dry ingredients and stir just until mixed (don't over-beat).
  • Fill muffin cups two-thirds full. For topping, combine the flour, sugar, nuts and cinnamon; cut in butter until crumbly. Sprinkle over batter.
  • Bake for 16-18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks.
