Instructions
For the Muffin Batter:
Preheat the oven to 375℉, and line a jumbo muffin tin with paper liners, or spray pans with baking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the oil, granulated sugar, brown sugar, honey, eggs, pumpkin, vanilla, and butter flavoring. Set aside.
½ cup vegetable oil, ½ cup granulated sugar, ½ cup light brown sugar, 1 tablespoon honey, 2 large eggs, 1 cup canned pumpkin puree, 1 teaspoon(s) pure vanilla extract, ½ teaspoon(s) butter extract
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, baking powder, salt, baking soda, cardamom, and cloves.
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoon(s) pumpkin pie spice, 1 teaspoon(s) ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon(s) baking powder, ½ teaspoon(s) kosher salt, ½ teaspoon(s) baking soda, ¼ teaspoon(s) ground cardamom, ¼ teaspoon(s) ground cloves
Add flour mixture to the wet ingredients, and stir just until no flour streaks remain. Set aside so the muffin batter can hydrate for a few minutes while you make the streusel.
For the Streusel:
In a medium size bowl, use a fork or pastry cutter to mix together the butter, granulated sugar, flour, cinnamon, honey, pumpkin pie spice, and salt. Set aside.
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, ½ cup granulated sugar, ½ cup all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoon(s) ground cinnamon, 2 tablespoons honey, 1 teaspoon(s) pumpkin pie spice, ½ teaspoon(s) kosher salt
Fill muffin cups about ⅔ full, dividing evenly into the wells.
Top the batter with streusel mixture, dividing evenly among the muffins (about 2 tablespoons of streusel).
Bake for 28 or 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes mostly clean or with a couple of moist crumbs.
Cool cupcakes in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to finish cooling.
When completely cool, sift powdered sugar over the top to serve.
