The Best Fall Muffins
Since we are staying closer to home this season and not getting out as much, I love boxing up
I really enjoy baking with pumpkin, greek yogurt or vegetables because these things provide a lot of moisture and keep the bakes from drying out. They also seem to stabilize the bake as well i.e. making them almost fool proof!

Pumpkin Spice Crumble Muffins
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1/8 tsp ground cloves
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup pure pumpkin puree
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 8 tbsp unsalted butter softened
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
Crumble Topping
- 1/8 cup light brown sugar
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter melted
- 1/3 cup all purpose flour
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350° F and line a muffin tin with paper cups.
- Make the crumble topping by whisking together the brown sugar, cinnamon and flour together. Then pour the melted butter into and mix together with a fork until crumbles remain. They should hold together when you press them between your fingers slightly. Set aside.
- Whisk flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves together and set aside.
- In a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugar together for 2-3 minutes, on medium high speed, until fluffy. Alternatively, you can cream the butter and sugar with a hand mixer.
- Turn down the speed to slow and add eggs one at time until incorporated. Stopping to scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula as needed.
- Add pumpkin and vanilla and mix until incorporated.
- Slowly add the dry ingredients and mix for about 30-60 seconds. Remove from mixer and give one final stir to ensure no flour pockets remain.
- Divide mixture into lined muffin tin. The cups will be 2/3 or more full. Top with crumble mixture. Pro Tip: to avoid and unnecessary sticking, I spray the top of the muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray to ensure the crumble and tops of muffins don't stick while baking.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes until the centers are set.
- Let muffins cool 10-15 minutes. Enjoy while warm or store in air tight container for up to 5 days.
