Spiced Pumpkin Streusel Muffins

Thanks for Sharing!

I’m starting to get the fall bug, and these Spiced Pumpkin Streusel Muffins are the perfect way to send the kiddos off to school. The muffins are moist and full of pumpkin flavor. Plus they have cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves to give you that pumpkin spice. They are topped with an easy streusel giving the muffin some sweetness and crunch.

Pumpkin Muffins with Streusel Topping

Pumpkin muffins by themselves are amazing. My Pumpkin Spice Bread Recipe can easily be adapted into muffins. But there’s something special about adding that streusel topping. A little sweet, crunchy topping that is so simple to make. This is all you need to make the streusel.

• flour
• brown sugar
• sugar
• cinnamon
• butter
• salt

Simple right! Streusel can be added to a muffin, pie, cake, you name it!

How to make Streusel Topping

Add the flour, sugars, and salt to a bowl. Mix to combine.

Then it’s time to cut in the cold butter. It’s important that the butter be ice cold. Cutting it into little cubes makes it much easier to break it up.

Now your streusel is ready to top your muffins or anything else you want to have a streusel topping.

Now let’s get on to how to make these delicious Spiced Pumpkin Muffins!
