Why You'll Love These Easy Pumpkin Muffins!

This recipe is easy to make and bakes in just 20 minutes! The texture of the crumb is soft and moist similar to a coffee cake. You're going to love the streusel topping because it adds a delicious crunch and extra sweetness to this recipe.

This recipe is also similar to my Pumpkin Cream Cheese Bread if you have left over pumpkin puree to use up!

Don't Forget the Cinnamon Honey Butter!

These muffins are healthier, full of pumpkin, and most importantly, served with cinnamon honey butter!

Whipping up some cinnamon honey butter is as easy as it sounds. All you have to do is stir together softened butter, cinnamon and your favorite honey. I used a ginger infused honey which added even more flavor and all of the fall spice feels. Adjust the amount of cinnamon and honey to your liking and now you're ready to spread a generous swirl of sweet butter on your pumpkin muffin.

How To Make Pumpkin Muffins with Streusel Topping:

You will need a large mixing bowl and a mixer for this recipe. Stirring the ingredients by hand is also an option, but I find a mixer speeds up the process.

To your mixing bowl, add the pumpkin puree, eggs, greek yogurt or sour cream, vanilla extract and brown sugar.

Important note about the oil: If you're using melted coconut oil, I recommend adding it as the last ingredient in the recipe so it won't harden when mixed with cold yogurt and eggs. But, if you're using avocado, olive, canola or vegetable oil, then you can add the oil in with the wet ingredients listed above that make up the pumpkin mixture.

Next, add the spooned and leveled flour, baking soda, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice and salt to the wet ingredients. Use a small spoon to stir the baking soda into the flour before mixing everything together. (For the melted coconut oil, add right after this step when the flour is partially mixed.)

Use a large muffin scoop to divide the batter into 12 muffins in a lightly greased muffin tin. Top with the brown sugar streusel and bake at 350F for about 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

For The Streusel:

Grab a small bowl to mix up the streusel ingredients. You will need brown sugar,  all-purpose flour, cinnamon, melted butter and salt. Stir until the topping is well combined and use your fingers to sprinkle the streusel over the tops of the muffins.

No worries! If you don't have any pumpkin pie spice, simply use a mixture of warming fall spices like ginger, nutmeg, cardamom, and allspice.

Sour cream is a great substitute for greek yogurt in muffin and bread recipes.

Avocado, olive, canola or vegetable oil make a good substitute for coconut oil in this recipe.
