Pumpkin Crumble Muffins

Fluffy Pumpkin Muffin with Crumb Topping

My pumpkin coffee cake was by far one of my favorite and most popular recipes so I decided to create muffins as well. These turned out super fluffy, delicious, and make for a quick breakfast/snack/dessert.

If you love anything pumpkin, you will love these. There is the perfect amount of pumpkin flavor with the perfect amount of spice. The glaze takes it to the next level adding a little extra sweetness.

Vegan butter: you can use any vegan butter you prefer. If you aren’t vegan normal butter works as well. You can also use liquid oil.

Sugar: I used coconut sugar in mine. Any granulated sugar will work (white, brown, etc.) DO NOT use a liquid sweetener such as maple syrup it won’t turn out the same.

Nondairy milk: I used unsweetened almond milk. Any nondairy milk will work. If you aren’t vegan normal milk works as well.

Pumpkin pie spice: if you don’t have pumpkin pie spice you can just use a mix of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves. Add as much or as little of each as you want.

All-purpose flour: I haven’t tested any other flours. The closest thing I would recommend is a 1:1 gluten-free flour.
