How to Make Pumpkin Crumb Cake Muffins

These muffins come together so easy, no mixer required! In just a few simple steps, you’ll have yourself your next favorite treat.

Create the Crumb Topping

Put all the ingredients in a mixing bowl. With a fork or pastry cutter, work the butter and brown sugar into the flour. You should come up with nice and big crumbs.

Let these chill in the fridge for about 30 minutes while you prepare the muffin batter.

Mixing up the Batter

In a large mixing bowl, add all the muffin dry ingredients and mix together. In a separate bowl, mix together the muffins wet ingredients. Pour the wet ingredients into the large mixing bowl with the dry ingredients.

Pro Tip: Don’t over mix the batter! Over mixing causes it to become more dense.

Pouring and topping the muffins

Put liners in your muffin tin and pour the batter so that they are about 3/4 full. Top each one with the crumb topping.

Bake Muffins

Place the pan in a preheated oven (375 degrees F) and bake them for 20-22 minutes. Another way to check if they have been cooked all the way is to insert a toothpick into the middle of a muffin and it comes out clean.

Tips and Suggestions

Be sure to follow these tips and tricks to have the best outcome!

As I have mentioned before, you don’t want to over mix the muffin batter. The more you mix, the denser they will be. Another tip I like to add is to be sure to remove the muffins from the pan to cool. The hot pan will cause the muffins to continue cooking after you remove them from the oven.
