Hey there, and welcome back, friends.
You are in for a yummy fall treat!
Pumpkin Muffins
Pumpkin season is here! And what better way to celebrate than with some delicious pumpkin muffins? These muffins have all the fall flavors with a coconut flake pumpkin spice streusel topping.
They are moist, tender, and perfect for a fall breakfast or snack. Pack them in lunches too.
The cool weather of fall always makes me crave snacking on a muffin with a latte. I know you’ll love these fall muffins, and I suggest making a double batch and freezing them for when you’re craving something with pumpkin.
I made these muffins with ingredients from Bob’s Red Mill. I love using their all-purpose flour, which is milled from the best wheat. I find it makes an amazing pie crust, brownies, muffins, and cakes. If you haven’t yet, I urge you to grab your baking flours from Bob’s Red Mill.
Pumpkin Muffin Ingredients
This tender muffin recipe uses simple pantry ingredients.
The crumbly streusel topping is made with some nuts and coconut flakes.
- all-purpose flour
- baking soda
- salt
- ground cinnamon
- some spices like ground ginger, allspice, & nutmeg
- light brown sugar
- canned pumpkin puree
- coconut oil
- a few large eggs
- whole milk
- unsalted butter
- chopped walnuts
- unsweetened coconut flakes
How to Make Pumpkin Muffins
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Using baking spray coat a 12-cup muffin.
Whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, spices, and brown sugar in a large bowl.
Whisk together the pumpkin puree, coconut oil, eggs, and milk in a separate small bowl.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry flour mixture and fold until well-mixed.
Spoon the batter into prepared muffin cups filling each three-fourths full.
To make the streusel, combine all the ingredients in a small bowl until combined. Using your fingers, clump some of the streusels.
Add 1-2 tablespoons of the streusel on top of the batter in each muffin cup.
Bake muffins until a wooden stick inserted into the middle comes out clean, about 18-22 minutes.
Remove muffins from the pan and let cool slightly. Serve warm.
Do pumpkin muffins need to be refrigerated?
No, pumpkin muffins do not need to be refrigerated. You can store them in an airtight container for up to 3 days at room temperature or stored in the refrigerator for five days. You can store them for up to 3 months in the freezer.
Can you make pumpkin muffins with pumpkin pie filling?
Yes, you can make pumpkin muffins with pumpkin pie filling. Pumpkin puree is preferred, but you can use pumpkin pie filling. I suggest decreasing the sugar and decreasing the spices since the pumpkin pie filling is already sweetened and has pumpkin pie spices.
Can I use another oil instead of coconut oil?
Yes, you can use light-tasting oil instead of coconut oil. Coconut oil helps muffins come out light and tender. If the coconut taste bothers you, you can use refined coconut oil.
