Pumpkin Streusel Muffins

These Pumpkin Streusel Muffins are light, fluffy, and fragrantly spiced. The streusel topping adds that perfect bit of sweet crunch and they’re just right on a fall morning.

These muffins are just fantastic. They’re moist and they rise well, just like something you’d get at a fabulous B&B, you know, where they leave a little tea towel lined basket of muffins and a big pot of hot coffee outside your door. If you’re looking for something to make for weekend guests, these are a great choice.

TIP: You can mix up the batter for these pumpkin streusel muffins the night before and bake them up in the morning if you like.

Ingredients

1/4 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
2/3 cup canned pumpkin
1/2 cup buttermilk
2 eggs
2 tablespoons molasses
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup oat flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp ginger
1/8 tsp cloves
1/8 tsp nutmeg
pinch of allspice
1/4 teaspoon salt

for the streusel

1/4 cup all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tbsp rolled oats
1/2 cup chopped pecans
2 tablespoons cold butter

Instructions

Set the oven to 375F
Cream the sugar and the butter, and then beat in the eggs, pumpkin, buttermilk and molasses.
In another bowl, mix the dry ingredients together.
Make the streusel topping in a third bowl, using your hands to cut in the butter until the whole thing is thoroughly combined and crumbly.
When you’re ready to bake, mix the dry ingredients into the wet, stirring just enough to combine. Fill the muffin cups fairly full, and sprinkle the streusel topping liberally over the muffins.
Bake for about 20 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let them cool for a few minutes in the pan before taking them out.

Makes perfect sense–what better way to deal with stress (or avoid it) than to bake? They look wonderful!

No comment on the ice for the wine (smile)….These are some amazing pumpkin streusel muffins. I just need a good cup of coffee, and a couple of these muffins. I would be ready for the day.

Cheers.

Good timing–I just bought my first can of pumpkin of the season last weekend! Now I just need some buttermilk. These are perfect to welcome fall.

I love your your response to large appliance failure: Make something wonderful! I need to replicate such an action as my house continues to ambush me; and now I have the recipe.
I believe Joanne is correct and the berries can be saved.
PS. Williams-Sonoma sent a pastry sale ad this AM. I once thought they had beautiful food and presentation, but your site beats them any day!

Well, so long as they refroze I’m thinking your berries are probably fine! (phew)

Either way…these pumpkin streusel muffins seem like the perfect thing to distract you! And those photos are amazing!

I put ice in my wine too. I like to think of it as a wine cooler without the fizzy stuff. Ingrid is so embarrassed.
