These Pumpkin Muffins are soft, fluffy, moist, and loaded with Fall flavor. Top them off with a crumbly, buttery streusel and a simple glaze!Recipe includes a video at the bottom of the recipe card!
Add your dry ingredients into your wet and gently stir until just combined, taking care to not overmix the batter.
Evenly divide muffin batter into prepared muffin tins (filling each ¾ full). Set aside while you prepare your streusel.
Streusel
Prepare your streusel by whisking together flour, sugars and cinnamon.
1 ¼ cup all-purpose flour, ½ cup light brown sugar tightly packed, ⅓ cup sugar, ¾ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Pour the melted butter into the mixture and, using a fork, stir until crumbles form. Don't overwork the streusel or you'll end up with a paste, you want it to be nice and clumpy!
6 Tablespoons salted butter³
Using your hands, evenly divide streusel over muffin batter, piling the streusel over the batter and gently pressing the topping into the batter.
Bake on 375F (190C) for 17-19 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs. Allow muffins to cool in muffin pan for 5 minutes before carefully removing to a cooling rack to cool completely.
Glaze
If desired, make glaze by whisking together powdered sugar and milk. Drizzle over cooled pumpkin muffins
½ cup powdered sugar, 2-3 teaspoons milk

Notes
¹Pumpkin Puree
Make sure you buy puree that is 100% pumpkin and NOT "Pumpkin Pie Filling", which contains other ingredients.
²Streusel topping
These pumpkin muffins can be made without the streusel topping, they may just need a minute or two less in the oven. A few people have commented that the streusel recipe made more than they needed for their muffins. The amount listed is exactly as much as I use and as is shown in the photos and in the video, but feel free to reduce the amount in half if you don't like a lot of streusel.
³Salted vs unsalted butter
If you don't have salted butter on hand, just use unsalted and add ¼ teaspoon of salt to the dry ingredients for the streusel.
Storing
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Muffins may also be tightly wrapped and frozen for several months.
