• 1/4 cup light brown sugar

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease with cooking spray.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger. Set aside.

4. Add the eggs one at a time, whisking after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
5. Add the pumpkin puree and milk to the wet ingredients and mix until smooth.
6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
7. Fill each muffin cup about 3/4 full with the batter.
8. In a small bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and cinnamon for the streusel topping. Cut in the cold cubed butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
9. Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over each muffin cup.
10. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
11. Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
