Ingredients

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup rolled oats
4 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups pumpkin puree
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup white sugar
2/3 cup vegetable oil
3 eggs
1/2 cup applesauce
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup raisins
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons butter, softened
2 tablespoons rolled oats
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease 18 muffin cups or line cups with paper liners.
2 Whisk 2 ½ cups flour, ½ cup oats, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl. Whisk pumpkin purée, 1 cup brown sugar, white sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, applesauce, and vanilla extract together in a separate bowl; stir in flour mixture to combine. Fold in raisins.
3 Beat ¼ cup brown sugar and butter together in a bowl until smooth and creamy; whisk in 2 tablespoons oats and 2 tablespoons flour using a fork until streusel topping is crumbly.
4 Divide batter among the prepared muffin cups, filling each ⅔ full; sprinkle with streusel topping.
5 Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into centers comes out clean, 25 to 35 minutes.
