Grocery List
  • 2½ c. flour
  • 1½ c. sugar
  • 1 tsp. cinnamon
  • ½ tsp. cloves
  • ½ tsp. nutmeg
  • 1 tsp. baking soda
  • ½ tsp. salt
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 c. pumpkin puree
  • ½ c. melted coconut oil
  • 2 c. chopped apples
  • Streusel topping:
  • 2 T. unbleached flour
  • ¼ c. brown sugar
  • ½ tsp. cinnamon
  • 4 T. butter
Here's how...
  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
  2. Grease 18 muffin cups with softened butter and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar.
  3. In a mixing bowl, add the flour,sugar, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, baking soda, and salt and mix well.
  4. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Add the eggs and beat them with a fork. To the well, add the pumpkin and oil or oil+applesauce. Mix the well ingredients carefully and then gently stir the wet ingredients into the dry. Do not over-mix.
  5. Add the chopped apple.
  6. Fill muffin tins ½-2/3 full depending on the number of muffins you'd like to end up with.
  7. Make the streusel by combining the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and 4 T. of cold butter. Use 2 knives or a pastry cutter to blend until the mixture is crumbly. Sprinkle the crumbs over the top of the batter and bake for 5 minutes at 425 degrees and then lower the temperature to 350 and continue to bake for 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean and the top of the muffin springs back when lightly pressed.
  8. Cool on wire rack.
