Pumpkin Streusel Coffee Cake Muffins, the perfect fall comfort food to start your morning. It never hurts to start your morning on a sweet note.ย

I love how the smell of fall spices fills the kitchen when these muffins are baking. This is one of the reasons that I love the fall season, all the wonderful smells of fall spices.

These pumpkin muffins are a moist muffin topped with crumble and cinnamon icing. You can never have enough cinnamon.

Looking down at a plate full of muffins.

They are definitely one of our family’s favorite muffins when this time of the year rolls around.

Helpful Tips:

  • Use pumpkin puree for this recipe. Do not substitute pumpkin pie filling for the pumpkin pie filling.
  • As always have your ingredients at room temperature.
  • Don’t over stir the batter. Add the wet ingredients into the dry and only mix until combined.
  • When adding the crumble I like to gently press the crumble down just a bit so it adheres to the batter.
  • You can tell when the muffins are done by lightly pressing down on the top of the muffin, if it bounces back they are done or use a wooden press inserted into the muffin, if it comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs, it is done.
  • ย Want to keep muffins for a while, place them in the freezer for up to 3 months. Just take out the desired amount and let them thaw overnight to have them ready in the morning.

Notes

  1. All ingredients should be room temperature.ย 
  2. Use pumpkin puree, do not substitute pumpkin pie filling.
  3. This recipe makes 12 muffins. But since muffin tins come in different sizes, don't fill the tins more than 3/4 full. If you have remaining batter, bake in another muffin tin.
  4. These muffins freeze well for up to 3 months.

    I took one look at the ingredients list and thought “yikes” but then as I kept reading I realized that this is an easy and delicious looking recipe. I’ve made pumpkin breads but not muffins. This one’s going to be on my list.

    Great looking muffins! I can never skip breakfast – although I don’t eat a ton (usually fruit and a hard-boiled egg), I must have something. These muffins looks wonderful, and would be ideal!

    Yum! I love pumpkin muffins, but I not made any quite like yours. The addition of the streusel and cinnamon icing sounds great. Thanks, for the share…
