Spray 7 wells of a 12-count muffin pan3 with non-stick spray or line the wells with cupcake liners. Set aside.
STREUSEL
Place flour, butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, and salt into a small bowl.
⅓ cup (40g) all-purpose flour, 2 Tablespoons (28g) unsalted butter, 1 and ½ Tablespoons firmly packed light brown sugar, ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon, ⅛ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice, ⅛ teaspoon salt
Using a fork, press ingredients together until butter is in small chunks. Use your fingers to pinch pieces together until streusel is mostly small crumbles. Some large crumbles are ok. Set aside.
MUFFINS
In a large bowl, toss together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour, ¾ teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice, ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon salt
In a medium size bowl, whisk together the brown sugar and butter until smooth. Add the egg, pumpkin purée, milk, and vanilla extract and whisk again until everything is combined.
⅓ cup (67g) firmly packed light brown sugar, ¼ cup (57g) unsalted butter, 1 large egg, ½ cup pumpkin purée2, 2 and ½ Tablespoons (38mL) milk, ¾ teaspoon vanilla extract
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently with a spatula until just combined.
Spoon batter equally into prepared muffin pans. Add crumble to the top of each muffin, about 2-3 Tablespoons each. Bake muffins for 5 minutes, then reduce heat to 350ºF and bake for an additional 10-12 minutes until streusel starts to brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean.
Remove from oven and allow to cool completely on a wire rack. Muffins will stay fresh in an airtight container at room temperature up to 4 days or in the refrigerator up to one week. Muffins freeze well, up to 2 months. Thaw in microwave for 45-60 seconds before eating.
Notes
Eggs: it is always a good rule of thumb to use room temperature eggs when using melted butter. To bring egg to room temperature quickly, place in a bowl of warm water for 10 minutes.
Pumpkin: I always measure pumpkin purée with measuring cups as the moisture content can wildly change the weight measurements, depending on the brand.
For a true Dunkin copycat: if you want bakery size pumpkin muffins, double the recipe and bake in a jumbo muffin pan and top with my easy royal icing (halve the recipe). Second bake time is 17-20 minutes.
