Ingredients
  

For the muffins

  • ¼ c pumpkin puree
  • ¼ c maple syrup
  • ¼ c brown sugar
  • c + 2 tsp apple sauce
  • 1 egg
  • ½ c whole wheat flour
  • ¼ c unbleached all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp baking soda
  • ¼ tsp salt

For the streusel topping

  • 2 Tbs oats
  • 2 tbs flour
  • 2 Tbs brown sugar
  • pinch salt
  • 1 Tbs coconut oil solid

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350º F and prepare a 6 well muffin tin with paper liners or baking spray.
  • In a mixing bowl combine the pumpkin puree, maple syrup, brown sugar, apple sauce and egg, whisk until smooth.
  • In a separate mixing bowl whisk together the flours, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
  • Add the dry ingredients to the wet and stir until it just comes together, it's ok if it's a little lumpy (over working the batter makes tough, chewy muffins).
  • In a small bowl make the streusel topping by stirring together the oats, flour, brown sugar and salt.
  • Cut the coconut oil in using a fork and stir until the mixture is a sandy texture.
  • Divide the batter between the paper liners and top with 1/6 of the streusel topping.
  • Bake for 16-18 minutes until a tester comes out with just a few crumbs.
  • Cool in the pan 5 minutes, transfer to a wire rack to cool completely or serve warm.
