These Pumpkin Muffins are perfection. They are moist, flavorful, and topped with a cinnamon streusel crumb topping and a drizzle of vanilla icing; the perfect pumpkin treat!
These pumpkin muffins are one of my favorite things to make every year when its finally pumpkin season and I can embrace my love of pumpkin recipes once again. The muffins are so moist, and have the perfect cinnamon and pumpkin flavor.
The pumpkin muffins are nice, and light, and airy, and moist and everything a muffin should be.
They are topped with the best cinnamon streusel crumb, which gives them a bit of a crunch, and makes them a bit like coffee cake muffins. Some of the streusel will fall off the muffin and you’ll want to eat it by itself. I love crumb topping on anything and everything.
These pumpkin crumb cake muffins are amazing on their own, but the crumb on top just takes the cake 😉
You’ll drizzle it all with a little vanilla icing on top, because of course icing makes everything better, right?
A few years back I shared these muffins and a pumpkin chili recipe at a Home Show here in Utah. Everyone loved them both and I know you will too!
If I haven’t convinced you yet, these pumpkins are amazing. They are the perfect fall flavors all wrapped together in a muffin. They are delicious for breakfast, or brunch, or dessert – and they are so good you’ll want to eat them all day long.

I made these muffins tonight and they are S000 good. I made them just like you said and are delicious. I needed to use up a can of pumpkin and these will be in my favorites. Thank You!!
Aimee Berrett says
Yay Shirley! Im so glad you liked them! Now I think I need to make a batch too 🙂
Darlene Kriewald says
Can you make these as mini muffins? I’m hosting a bridal shower and wanted to do bite size treat. Thank you.
Aimee Berrett says
I haven’t tried it, but it should work fine! Just adjust the baking time, I’m not sure exactly what it would be – I’d start with 8 minutes and check from there!
Kali Martek says
I made these and OMGosh THANK YOU! So, so good. Only thing that didn’t turn out right was using the 1/4 cup per muffin…. made them too big so I had to increase bake time. But SOOO worth it!
Chris says
Made exactly as written and these were AMAZING! The topping is a true crumb topping and I Loved it! I made these for breakfast for tomorrow and they are already gone. Guess we’ll just have cereal tomorrow.
Aimee Berrett says
So glad you liked it Chris, isn’t the crumb topping delicious!?
Chris says
OMG.. delicious isn’t even the right word! I’ve tried other types of crumb toppings but it usually turned into melted sugar on top of the muffins. These were PERFECT and there was plenty to go on each muffin!!! My son just moved out and he stopped by right when I was trying this recipe and he devoured one while it was still hot and then took 2 for the road. I tried one warm but honestly loved it when it was cool and the spices had a chance to stand out and the crumb topping and glaze got a little harder… OMG it’s DELISH! I’m gonna have to make these again this weekend! 🙂
