Pumpkin Cinnamon Streusel Muffins

by Two Peas on October 15, 2010

We can’t get enough pumpkin this fall. We started with pumpkin Nutella bread, it didn’t last long so we followed it up with pumpkin chocolate chip bread. My craving still wasn’t fulfilled, so I made a batch of pumpkin granola. I was unpacking our kitchen and came across several cans of pumpkin-I stocked up in case there was a shortage again. My pumpkin craving suddenly came back, so I baked pumpkin cinnamon streusel muffins.

My favorite spice is cinnamon-I can’t get enough. Pumpkin and cinnamon go perfectly together, so I added a special cinnamon brown sugar filling to the middle of these pumpkin muffins. I also added a cinnamon streusel on top. See, I told you I like cinnamon:) These pumpkin cinnamon streusel muffins are the perfect fall morning muffin. Enjoy!

Pumpkin Cinnamon Streusel Muffins

Yield: 14 muffins

Cook Time: 17-20 minutes

Ingredients:

1 3/4 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 tablespoon cinnamon
1 1/2 teaspoons nutmeg
1 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 cup canola oil
1/3 cup water
1 cup canned pumpkin
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Brown Sugar Cinnamon Filling:

1 cup brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Streusel Topping:

1 1/4 cup oats
1 tablespoon flour
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
Dash of nutmeg
6 tablespoons cold butter, cut into chunks

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line two muffin tins with paper liners or spray with cooking spray. Set aside.

2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Set aside.

3. In a large bowl, whisk together sugar, oil, water, pumpkin, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and combined.

4. Slowly stir in the flour mixture. Mix until ingredients are combined.

5. For the brown sugar cinnamon filling: in a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and cinnamon together. Set aside.

6. For the streusel topping: in a small bowl mix together the oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Mix in the butter with your hands until the mixture is crumbly.

7. Fill muffin cups half way full with the pumpkin batter. Sprinkle the brown sugar cinnamon filling over each half filled muffin cup. Fill the muffins cups with the remaining batter. Top each muffin with streusel topping.

8. Bake for 17-20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Remove pans from oven and cool on a wire rack. Remove muffins from tins and enjoy.

I was all set to comment on how AMAZING those looked before I even saw the linky love. I’m a sucker for pumpkin. And streusel. So basically, you’re killin’ me here.

I don’t have access to pumpkin where I live so is there another fruit/veggie I can substitute for this? It looks wonderful and happy fall!

  Katie-you could try butternut squash.

I wish I had one of these for my breakfast Maria! They sound amazing and I adore a streusel topping on a muffin. And you can never have too much of pumpkin or pumpkin recipes in my opinion.
It was so great meeting you last weekend. You are such a sweet and beautiful person, both inside and out. Hopefully next time we’ll have more time to chat.
Have a great weekend Maria and I can’t wait to see the final pictures of your new kitchen.

Certainly ’tis the season for pumpkin, isn’t it? Love your idea of putting the brown sugar filling in the middle with the streusel on top. Cinnamon-y goodness in every single bite.
