Pumpkin Spice Muffins with Streusel Topping

With Dried Plum Purée and Diced Dried Plums and a crumbly strudel on top, these muffins have a nuanced balance of crunchy and chewy textures. The puree also binds with the pumpkin puree to lock in moisture, keeping these muffins fresh for a longer amount of time. The same recipe works with fresh cranberries in place of the diced dried plums.

Instructions

    Preheat the oven to 400F. Oil 12 muffin cups or line with paper liners.

    Soak the diced dried plums in room temperature water for 5 minutes. Drain.

    In a bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg.

    In another bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, eggs, buttermilk, plum puree, and oil. Mix into the flour mixture until just combined. Fold in the diced dried plums

    Fill the prepared muffin cups just below the rim. (Each muffin will have about 90-g / 3.15-ounces of batter.) Bake until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean, 16 to 20 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes, then remove from the muffin cups and cool completely.
