The most amazing Pumpkin Streusel Muffins
These Pumpkin Apple Streusel Muffins have fall written all over them. Big chunks of apples, moist pumpkin batter, and glazed to perfection, these streusel muffins are even better than your local bakery treat!
A great make-ahead breakfast treat
Pumpkin muffins are such a great way to enjoy a home-baked, delicious treat on a cool, fall morning. Making a batch of these ahead of time for busy mornings. Wrap in plastic wrap and then freeze for a quick grab-and-go treat whenever you’re in the mood.
Simply pull these out of the freezer the night before, let them thaw on your counter overnight, and you’ll have a tasty, delicious muffin to go with your morning coffee on the way out the door!
My 7-year-old absolutely loves these pumpkin muffins! The big chunks of apples along with the moist, delicious pumpkin make an amazing snack or after-school treat.
The Pecan Streusel Topping
I personally love the delicious pecan streusel topping! The sugary, crunchy nuts go so wonderfully with the moist, delicious muffin below it. The glaze is literally the icing on the cake – it looks very pretty, too! These muffins make for a great treat for your PTO meeting, work break-room or a nice treat to share when you have friends over for coffee. You may want to make a double batch, as these muffins go fast!
If you love a good breakfast treat with that delicious streusel topping, check out my post for New York Style Crumb Cake over at Lilluna. We also top our Peach Coffee Cake and Blueberry Sour Cream Coffee Cake with this crisp streusel.
The big chunks of apples in these pumpkin muffins are tender and the perfect compliment to the streusel topping! This is such a great way to enjoy all the apples you’ll be bringing home from your fall apple-picking trip!
