1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 cup granulated sugar

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, mix granulated sugar, brown sugar, oil, pumpkin puree, eggs, and vanilla until smooth.
Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. If using, fold in nuts.
Prepare the Streusel: In a small bowl, mix flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon for the streusel. Cut in cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Fill Muffin Tins: Divide the muffin batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups. Sprinkle the streusel topping generously over each muffin.
