Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease well.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, sugar, oil, eggs, and vanilla extract.
  4. Gradually add wet ingredients to dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. In a medium bowl, combine flour, oats, brown sugar, pecans (if using), and cinnamon for the crumble topping. Cut in cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until crumbly.
  6. Fill each muffin cup ¾ full with batter. Sprinkle crumble topping evenly over batter.
  7. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For a richer flavor, use maple syrup instead of some of the granulated sugar. You can also add chocolate chips or raisins to the batter.
