Pumpkin Muffins with Berries and Cinnamon Sugar Topping

Ingredient List:

• 2 1/2 cups flour
• 2 cups sugar
• 1 Tbs. pumpkin pie spice* (Or, you can substitute 1 tsp. cinnamon, 1 tsp. nutmeg, and 1/2 tsp. ginger.)
• 1 tsp. baking soda
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1 1/4 cup pumpkin (NOT pumpkin pie filling. Just canned pumpkin)
• 2 large eggs
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• 1 cup fresh or frozen blackberries
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 2 Tbs. flour
• 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
• 2 Tbs. butter

Supplies List:

• muffin tin
• ice cream/ cookie scoop with trigger
• pastry blender

Step 1: Mix together dry ingredients and wet ingredients in separate bowls.

Combine flour, sugar, spices, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. In another bowl combine pumpkin, eggs, and oil.

Step 2: Combine the liquid ingredients to the dry ingredients.

Add pumpkin mixture to flour mixture and stir well. Fold in blackberries.

Step 3: Fill paper lined muffin cups.

Fill 24 paper-lined muffin cups 3/4 full. (The batter will be really stiff.) Or spray muffin tins well with non-stick spray and omit paper muffin cups.

Step 4: Top each muffin with streusel topping.

Streusel Topping: Combine 1/4 cup sugar, 2 Tbs. flour, and 1/2 tsp. cinnamon. Cut in 2 Tbs. butter with a pastry blender until crumbly.

Sprinkle over the top of muffin batter.

Step 5: Bake

Bake at 350 degrees for 28-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.

Remove muffins from the tin and cool on a wire rack.

A few extra tips:

• When “pouring” this thick batter into muffin tins, try using an ice cream scoop or cookie scoop with a trigger (like these). It makes the job so much easier and quicker.
• These pumpkin muffins will make your house smell amazing as they bake. It will make a cold blustery day feel so much more cozy!
• Although it calls for blackberries, you can substitute any fresh or frozen berry. Blueberries are also very good in this muffin.
• If you want to have these as a treat for a Fall party or an appetizer, try baking them in mini muffin tins and topping with cute cupcake flags.
