# Steps:
01 - Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the cups.
02 - In a large mixing bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, light brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves until evenly combined.
03 - In a separate bowl, beat the eggs thoroughly, then add pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, milk, and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture is completely smooth.
04 - Pour wet ingredients into the bowl with dry ingredients and gently stir with a spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing to maintain a tender crumb.
05 - Fold the semi-sweet chocolate chips into the batter until evenly distributed.
06 - Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
07 - In a small bowl, combine all-purpose flour, light brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Add the cold butter cubes and mix using your fingertips or a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
08 - Sprinkle the prepared streusel evenly over the muffin batter in each cup.
09 - Bake in preheated oven for 20 to 22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
10 - Allow muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
