Homemade pumpkin muffins that are so incredibly easy to make. Topped with a pumpkin spice crumb topping and cream cheese drizzle, thse muffins are the perfect addition for the Autumn season!
Just a warning before you read any further – these will not last! This is one of those recipes that took me a few weeks to perfect, however once I did and decided to share them with friends and family they disappeared so fast and with rave reviews. I’m a pumpkin fan myself, and I absolutely love Fall! It’s certainly my favorite time of year, and living in Ohio and in the country, we get to experience the perfect crisp Autumn air with the beautiful colored leaves and many craft shows and Fall festivals to choose from. You know the festivals that always offer some sort of amazing sweet treat, and almost always something pumpking flavored.
Now you can do the baking at home and yield the same great flavor! These Pumpkin Crumb Muffins are not only super easy to make, but the flavor is absolutely incredible, and I’m willing to bet that you bake them more than once this season.
This recipe starts out with a simple pumpkin muffin mixture with the perfect spice flavor.
You’ll then top each muffin with a sweet and buttery crumb topping with just another touch of pumpking spice.
Lastly the finishing touch is a sweet and creamy cream cheese icing. This icing is so good you may think about making extra for the drizzle!
