Ingredients

  • 1 15 ounce can pumpkin purée preferably Libby's
  • 1 cup granulated sugar 200 grams
  • ½ cup dark brown sugar packed, 100 grams
  • ½ cup vegetable oil 112 grams
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup sour cream 63 grams
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1¼ teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour 265 grams

Streusel Topping

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour 250 grams
  • ⅔ cup light brown sugar packed, 147 grams
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 10 tablespoons unsalted butter melted, 142 grams
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Make the crumb topping. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, light brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Pour in the melted butter and vanilla and stir with a fork until large, moist clumps form. Continue breaking them up to form smaller pea sized clumps. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin purée, granulated sugar, dark brown sugar, oil, eggs, vanilla, and sour cream until smooth. In a small bowl add the dry ingredients, flour, baking powder, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice, and salt. Mix with a fork to combine then add them to the wet ingredients and fold with a non-stick spatula until just combined, with no dry streaks remaining.
  • Using a 2.5-3 tablespoon cookie scoop, scoop the batter onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving at least 2 inches between each one. Sprinkle the crumb topping generously over each scoop, pressing gently so it sticks.
  • Bake for 10 to 14 minutes, until the tops spring back a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Sprinkle with powdered sugar.
  • Let the baking sheet cool, line with fresh parchment if needed, and repeat with the remaining batter and crumb topping.
