How To Make The Pumpkin Muffin Recipe
Streusel
I started out by making the crumbly top first. Add the melted butter, flour, brown and white sugars, and cinnamon to a bowl. Mix it together and set it aside.
Pumpkin Spice Muffins
Start by adding the butter, eggs, vanilla extract, brown and white sugar, and pumpkin puree to a large mixing bowl and mix well.
Next, add the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and spices and mix well.
The batter is pretty thick, and that makes it easy to scoop it into the muffin cups. Fill the cups about 3/4 of the way full.
Sprinkle the streusel on top of the muffins and bake for 30-35 minutes or until a cake tester comes out clean.
Powdered Sugar Icing
While the muffins are cooling, you can make the icing. Add the powdered sugar, melted butter, milk (or heavy cream), and vanilla extract to a bowl and mix well until the lumps are gone.
I use this icing on many different breads, muffins, and cakes. It’s the perfect icing because you can easily adjust the thickness without affecting the flavor.
Drizzle the icing over the muffins. Let them cool and eat!
