Ingredients

• 1 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup canned pumpkin
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted)
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup old-fashioned oats
• 1/2 cup light brown sugar
• 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
• 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
• 5 tablespoons unsalted butter (at room temperature, cut Into 1/2" pieces)
• 1/3 cup mini chocolate chips

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a standard muffin pan with paper baking liners and set aside.

2. 2

   For the muffins: In a medium bowl, combine flour, sugars, salt, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and set aside.

3. 3

   In another medium bowl, combine eggs, pumpkin, and melted butter. Add the pumpkin mixture all at once to the flour mixture. Stir until just moistened. With a medium scoop or large spoon, divide batter evenly amongst the prepared muffin cups.

4. 4

   For the streusel: in a small bowl, combine flour, oats, brown sugar, salt, and baking powder. With a fork, cut in the butter until there are lots of pea-sized crumbs. Then fold in the mini chocolate chips. Sprinkle the streusel over the muffin batter, dividing it equally amongst the muffins.

5. 5

   Bake: Bake for 23–25 minutes, or just until a wooden toothpick inserted into centers of the muffins comes out clean. Do not over-bake. Remove pan from oven and let the muffins rest for a minute or two before removing them to a rack to cool.
