Pumpkin Streusel Muffins
I thought I would start this nice fall morning off with these glorious pumpkin streusel muffins. So, grab yourself a cup of coffee or hot tea and enjoy these wonderfully spiced treat.
This recipe is super simple, which as you all know is a must in my books. You’ll start by making the streusel topping in a small bowl and I made it easier by melting the butter instead of cutting it in.
You’re welcome.
When you have that mixed up hold it up to your nose and inhale deeply. Well, you don’t really have to do that part but I highly recommend it, it’s an instant mood lifter!
Then set that aside and mix up the muffin batter by first stirring together the dry ingredients then add in the sugar and the wet. Stir just until combined so the muffins stay tender and don’t worry if there are lumps in the batter. I promise everything will turn out fine. Now, using a large ice cream scoop, evenly divide the batter among 12 muffin cups.
Time for that streusel topping, go ahead and breathe in that wonderful cinnamony goodness one more time before topping the muffins. Now to bake and patiently wait for them to come out of the oven.
I thought about drizzling these with a glaze but after eating one I felt it just wasn’t needed. At least for today!
Now, go forth and enjoy these wonderful fall pumpkin streusel muffins!
