Pumpkin Muffins with Streusel Topping

Categories Breakfast, Cakes/Cookies/Candy, Easy Recipes, Side Dish

These pumpkin muffins with streusel topping are my favorite! They are perfectly spiced, moist and tender muffins with the delicious snack-worthy streusel crumb topping on top. Yum!

I know pumpkin is know as a fall and winter treat but I would happily eat these any time of year!

This recipe is a dump and mix kind of muffin, which I love for simplicity and get-it-done’s sake. I am well versed in technical baking but I also really appreciate a dump and mix recipe!

I love the topping so I have made this recipe to have a good amount per muffin but if you are streusel obsessed you can double this recipe for a really over the top muffin or if you aren’t a but fan you can always cut the topping recipe in half or leave it off, no judgement.
