Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, eggs, vegetable oil, and water until smooth. In another bowl, combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, spices, and salt. Gently fold the dry mixture into the wet blend.
  2. In a medium bowl, melt the unsalted butter and mix in brown and granulated sugars until dissolved. Add flour, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt to form a crumbly texture.
  3. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a muffin tin. Spoon muffin batter into each cup about two-thirds full and add crumb topping to each.
  4. Bake for approximately 18-22 minutes, until muffins spring back when touched and are golden brown.
  5. Cool for 5 minutes in the pan, then transfer to a wire rack. Whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and maple syrup for icing and drizzle over warm muffins.
