Pro Tips for Making Pumpkin Streusel Muffins
- Use Fresh Pumpkin Puree: For the best flavor, use homemade pumpkin puree rather than canned. Roast your pumpkin and blend it until smooth.
- Don’t Overmix: When combining wet and dry ingredients, mix just until incorporated; this keeps your muffins light and fluffy.
- Streusel Storage: If you have leftover streusel, store it in the fridge. It can be used later on other baked goods for added crunch.
- Check Doneness: Insert a toothpick into the muffins to check for doneness; it should come out clean or with a few crumbs attached.
- Experiment with Add-ins: Consider adding nuts or chocolate chips for extra texture and flavor variations.
