Pumpkin Carrot Muffin in muffin tins

Pumpkin Carrot Muffin

Total: 1 hour
Servings: 1

Equipment

  • 1 muffin tin
  • 1 ice cream scoop

Ingredients 

Muffin batter:

  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup oil
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1.5 cups shredded or grated carrots

Streusel:

  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup light brown sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/3 cup almonds, roughly chopped
  • 1 teaspoon honey

Instructions 

  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin, granulated sugar, oil, eggs, and vanilla extract.
    1/2 cup pumpkin puree, 3/4 cup granulated sugar, 1/3 cup oil, 2 eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt.
    1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • Add the flour mixture to the wet mixture and fold until just combined. Add the carrots and fold to combine.
    1.5 cups shredded or grated carrots
  • Line the muffin tins with parchment.
  • Divide the batter evenly between 5 jumbo muffin tins (or you can divide the batter into 10 regular muffin tins) - I use ~1.5 scoops of the large size, about 1/2 cup.
  • Make the streusel by mixing everything together. Top each muffin with 2-3 tablespoons of streusel.
    3 tablespoons unsalted butter, 1/3 cup all-purpose flour, 1/3 cup light brown sugar, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/3 cup almonds, 1 teaspoon honey
  • Bake for 15 minutes, then rotate the muffins (if your oven is hotter in the back).
  • Bake for another 15 minutes, or until a knife is inserted into the thickest part and comes out clean.
  • Allow the muffins to cool, then enjoy!

Notes

This makes 5 jumbo muffins. If you are using regular sized muffin tins, bake for 18-20 minutes.
