FOR THE MUFFINS:

½ cup organic unsalted butter, softened

½ cup organic whole milk

 

Instructions:

For the Crumble Topping:

  1. Mix together oatmeal, pepitas, brown sugar, and flour in a large bowl. Add the butter and press or “cut” into the mixture using your fingers or a pastry cutter until large clumps have formed. Transfer to refrigerator while preparing the batter.

For the Muffins:

  1. Preheat oven to 375ºF. Line a muffin pan with muffin papers.
  2. Stir together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and nutmeg. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, beat together the sugar and butter with an electric mixer until combined and smooth, about 1 to 2 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating after each egg until well mixed. With the mixer on low, add pumpkin puree and milk. Continue mixing until combined.
  4. Stir the flour mixture into the wet ingredients. Continue mixing by hand until flour is fully incorporated & batter is smooth. Fold in chocolate chips.
  5. Transfer batter to the prepared muffin pan, filling each cup ¾ full. Sprinkle prepared crumble mixture on top of each muffin. Bake for 25 minutes or until muffins spring back to the touch. Remove from oven and transfer to a wire rack to cool
