Pumpkin Muffins

I had the BEST pumpkin muffins today..and went searching for a recipe that seemed like it would create the same ones. This came out very close...YUMMY.

NEED:
2 1/2 cups flour
2 cups sugar
1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cups pumpkin puree
2 eggs
1/4 cup butter, melted
1/2 cup cinnamon applesauce

STREUSEL TOPPING
1/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons flour
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
2 tablespoons butter

Preheat oven 350F degrees. Use non-stick cooking spray on the muffin pans, or use paper liners.

Place all the dry ingredients into a large bowl. In a separate medium bowl, mix well the wet ingredients. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet ingredients. Stir together just until moistened. Using an ice cream scoop or large spoon, spoon batter into muffin cups, filling 3/4 full.

For streusel topping: put sugar, flour, cinnamon and butter into a one cup mini processor and pulse until crumbly, 2-4 times. Sprinkle over muffin batter.

Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pans for 5 minutes; remove to wire racks to cool slightly.

ENJOY!
