For the Coffee Cake Topping:

1/3 cup brown sugar, packed

1/4 cup chopped pecans

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it with non-stick spray.

    Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

      Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and spices (cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves).

        Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. Gently fold in the chopped pecans.

          Prepare the Topping: In a small bowl, mix together the flour, brown sugar, chopped pecans, and cinnamon for the topping. Add the melted butter and mix until crumbly.

            Fill the Muffin Tin: Spoon the pumpkin muffin batter into each muffin cup, filling them about 2/3 full. Sprinkle the coffee cake topping generously over each muffin.

              Bake the Muffins: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

                Cool and Serve: Once baked, allow the muffins to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
