Are you looking to bake something delicious for fall? Well this recipe is perfect for you. The mouth watering pumpkin spice crumble muffin is a great treat, leaving you satisfied and in baking heaven.

I chose this recipe because it looked like the perfect pumpkin recipe for fall, and it was very easy to make. I got the recipe from: https://tutti-dolci.com/pumpkin-spice-crumb-muffins/ by Laura Kasavan. She has created the perfect ratio of perfectly spiced pumpkin muffins and delicious buttery golden crumbs. The muffin is moist and the crumbs have just the right amount of sweetness. You can eat it for breakfast, a snack, for dessert, or really any occasion.

I had my older brother try the muffins I made and he said “They were really moist and tasted very yummy.”

Get in the mood for fall with this treat!

Ingredients

Crumb topping:

• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1/4 cup light brown sugar
• 1/3 cup rolled oats
• 1/3 cup flour
• 1/4 tsp cinnamon
• pinch of salt
• 3 Tbsp unsalted butter, melted

Muffins:

• 1/2 cup rolled oats
• 1 1/2 cups flour
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 3/4 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 1/4 tsp cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp cloves
• 1/4 tsp ginger
• 1/4 tsp nutmeg
• 1 1/4 cups pure pumpkin
• 1/2 cup milk, at room temperature
• 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
• 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted and slightly cooled (or vegetable oil)

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a 12cup standard muffin pan with baking cups, then spray baking cups lightly with cooking spray.
2. For the crumb topping, combine sugars, rolled oats, flour, cinnamon, and salt in a small bowl. Then add melted butter and toss the mixture with a fork until crumbly.
3. Chill in the freezer until needed.
4. Whisk together rolled oats, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and spices in a large bowl.
5. Combine pumpkin, milk, eggs, coconut oil, and vanilla in a medium bowl. Add to the flour mixture and fold in just until incorporated.
6. Fill each baking cup 3/4 full of batter and sprinkle evenly with crumb topping.
7. Place the muffin pan in the oven and bake for 5 minutes at 425°F. Reduce temperature to 350°F and continue baking for 13 to 15 minutes until muffins are golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, or with a few crumbs attached.
8. Let muffins cool in the pan or on a wire rack for 5 minutes.

Enjoy!
