Pumpkin Pie Streusel Muffins and 15 Amazing Pumpkin recipes

Pumpkins are not just for carving. Once September hit I feel like I can pull out the cans of Pumpkin and get baking pumpkin recipes. I love making quick bread muffins because just that, they are quick. You can cook any quick bread recipe in 20 minutes if you put them in muffin tins, plus I feel I get more servings this way. I am going to share a new pumpkin muffin recipe as well as many great recipes from fellow bloggers.

I found this Pumpkin Pie Streusel muffin recipe in the October Southern Living Magazine and decided to adapt it a little. It reminds me of Pumpkin Pie since it is a very dense batter and the streusel topping with sugary nuts really puts it over the top.

  2. 2. Stir together flour and next 4 ingredients; gradually add to butter mixture, beating at low speed. Stir in pumpkin and next 3 ingredients.
  3. 3. Spoon batter into 2 lightly greased (12-cup) muffin pans, filling two-thirds full. Sprinkle with Pumpkin Pie Streusel.

Notes

for my child who does not like nuts, I just topped each muffin with some Turbinado Sugar
