--------  ------------  --------------------------------
                         TOPPING:
      1/2           cup  all-purpose flour -- (2 1/2 oz)
   5        tablespoons  sugar -- (2 1/4 oz)
   1           teaspoon  pumpkin pie spice
   1              Pinch  salt
   4        tablespoons  unsalted butter -- melted
                         MUFFINS:
   2 1/2           cups  all-purpose flour -- (12 1/2 oz)
   2               cups  sugar -- (14 oz)
   1         tablespoon  pumpkin pie spice
   2          teaspoons  baking powder
      3/4      teaspoon  salt
   1                cup  canned unsweetened pumpkin puree
   8        tablespoons  unsalted butter -- melted
   2              large  eggs
      1/4           cup  milk
   2          teaspoons  vanilla extract

Our favorite canned pumpkin puree is made by Libby's. One 15-ounce 
can of pumpkin puree is more than enough for this recipe. You can 
transfer the leftover pumpkin to a zipper-lock bag and freeze it for 
up to a month.

WHY THIS RECIPE WORKS: Canned pumpkin puree adds a bit of subtle 
flavor to these muffins, but more important, it also makes the 
muffins ultramoist. For the pumpkin spice blend, we experimented with 
both homemade blends and store-bought options and found that 
store-bought worked surprisingly well. We added the spice mix not 
only to the muffin batter but also to the sweet and crunchy streusel topping.

Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 375F. Generously 
spray 12-cup muffin tin, including top, with baking spray with flour.

FOR THE TOPPING: Combine flour, sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and salt in 
bowl. Add melted butter and stir until evenly moistened and mixture 
resembles wet sand; set aside.

FOR THE MUFFINS: Whisk flour, sugar, pumpkin pie spice, baking 
powder, and salt together in bowl. Whisk pumpkin, melted butter, 
eggs, milk, and vanilla together in separate bowl. Stir flour mixture 
into pumpkin mixture until just combined.

Using greased 1/3-cup dry measuring cup, portion heaping 1/3 cup 
batter into each muffin cup (cups will be filled to rim). Sprinkle 
topping evenly over batter, about 1 tablespoon per muffin.

Bake muffins until golden brown and toothpick inserted in center 
comes out with few crumbs attached, 22 to 25 minutes, rotating muffin 
tin halfway through baking. Let muffins cool in muffin tin on wire 
rack for 10 minutes. Remove muffins from muffin tin and let cool on 
rack for 5 minutes. Serve.
