Bake Your Way into Fall with These Yummy Pumpkin Streusel Muffins
Fall is in full swing and I don’t know about you, but I am all about those cozy autumn flavors. And what better way to indulge in the season than with some delicious pumpkin streusel muffins? These babies are a must-try for all pumpkin lovers out there.
First things first, let’s talk about the flavor. These muffins are packed with that rich, earthy taste of pumpkin that we all crave this time of year.

But what truly makes these muffins unforgettable is that magical trio of cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves—seriously, the warm, spicy scent alone will have you doing a happy dance in your kitchen!
But wait, it gets even better. Each muffin is topped with a generous layer of buttery streusel crumble, giving you the perfect balance of sweetness and crunch in every bite. I don’t know about you, but my mouth is watering just thinking about it.
But hold on a second, because it gets even better—these muffins are crowned with the most irresistible, buttery streusel crumble that’s just heavenly.
Sweet, crunchy topping that perfectly complements the soft, pumpkin-spiced goodness underneath? Yes, please!
If you’re not drooling yet, just wait until you taste them warm out of the oven.
Now, you may be thinking, “But I can just buy pumpkin muffins at the store.” And while that may be true, nothing beats the satisfaction of making your own delicious baked goods from scratch.
Plus, it’s a great way to impress friends and family with your baking skills.
Now, let’s get down to business. These pumpkin streusel muffins are surprisingly easy to make.
With just 20 minutes of prep time and 18-20 minutes of baking time, you can have a batch of these beauties ready to devour in no time.
And with this recipe yielding 12-14 muffins, there’s plenty to share (or not, I won’t judge).

One word of advice before you get started—whatever you do, don’t grab the wrong can! Trust me, using pumpkin pie filling instead of pure pumpkin puree will completely ruin the magic, and we simply cannot have that. Stick with PUMPKIN PUREE for truly irresistible muffins.
And before you ask how I know this, let’s just say one “experimental” batch ended up tasting more like overly sweet pudding cupcakes. Lesson learned—read the labels carefully!
And now, onto the ingredients….
