Ingredients
  • 3 ¾ cups all-purpose flour, divided
  • 2 ⅔ cups packed dark brown sugar, divided
  • 5 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice, divided
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • ½ cup chopped walnuts
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 (15-ounce) can pumpkin puree
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup low-fat buttermilk
  • ¾ cup oil
  • 1 ½ cups semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup confectioners' sugar
  • 1 tablespoon whole milk or water
  • 2 teaspoons maple extract
Directions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375 F. Line two standard muffin pans with liners and set them aside.
  2. In a small bowl, combine ¾ cup flour, ⅔ cup brown sugar, ½ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice, ½ teaspoon salt, and butter, then mix everything with your fingertips until uniform. Toss in walnuts; set aside.
  3. Stir or whisk to combine 3 cups flour, 2 cups brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, 4 ½ teaspoons pumpkin pie spice, and 1 ½ teaspoons salt together in a medium-sized bowl.
  4. Add the pumpkin, eggs, buttermilk, and oil to the bowl, and stir until the batter is smooth. Stir chocolate chips into the batter.
  5. Use a scoop or spoon to divide batter evenly between muffin cups. Top each muffin evenly with streusel.
  6. Bake the muffins 28-30 minutes, or until they are golden brown and spring back to the touch. Transfer the muffins to a wire rack to cool.
  7. Stir confectioners' sugar, milk, and maple extract together to form a smooth glaze. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled muffins.
