FOR THE CRUMBLE TOPPING:

½ cup organic old-fashioned oatmeal

¼ cup organic pepitas

¼ cup organic brown sugar

¼ cup organic all-purpose flour

¼ cup organic unsalted butter, chilled and cut into small cubes

 

FOR THE MUFFINS:

1 cup Artisan Kettle® Organic Semisweet Chocolate Chips

2 cups organic all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons organic baking powder

2 teaspoons organic cinnamon

1 teaspoon organic ginger

½ teaspoon organic cloves

½ teaspoon organic nutmeg

1 cup organic sugar

1 cup organic pumpkin puree

½ cup organic unsalted butter, softened

2 organic eggs

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
