Ingredients

• 1 egg
• 1 cup white sugar
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 2 cups whole wheat flour
• ¼ cup packed brown sugar
• 3 egg whites
• ¼ cup chopped walnuts
• ¾ cup all-purpose flour
• ½ cup brown sugar
• 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree
• 2 tablespoons butter, diced
• 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
• ⅓ cup olive oil
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons oats

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease two 12-cup muffin tins.

Step 2

Bake in the preheated oven until tops spring back when lightly pressed, about 20 minutes.

Step 3

Sift together whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, and salt in a large bowl.

Step 4

Combine pumpkin puree, egg whites, and egg in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer until combined. Mix in white sugar, brown sugar, olive oil, and vanilla extract. Slowly add flour mixture to the pumpkin mixture, stirring until just combined. Fill the prepared muffin cups a little more than 1/2 full with batter.

Step 5

Combine brown sugar, diced butter, oats, walnuts, and flour for the streusel in a small bowl. Use a fork or your hands to combine until mixture resembles rough crumbs. Divide crumbs evenly amongst the muffin cups.
