Tips for Making these Crumble Cake Muffins with Pumpkin

✳︎ Make the crumble topping first. Once you combine the dry and wet ingredients in the muffin batter you want to get them into the oven right away to get the most lift out of the baking powder. Make the crumble topping first and have it waiting and ready to go.

✳︎ When mixing the muffin batter be careful not to over mix. Just mix the ingredients until all the dry ingredients are moistened. Too much mixing and the muffins will be tough instead of tender.

✳︎ Place the muffins in the pan in the middle of the oven If the muffins are too close to the top of the oven the tops with the crumble topping might burn. Too low and the bottoms of the muffins can get dry.

What’s the Cost of these Crumb Cake Muffins with Pumpkin?

It’s good to know how much a recipe cost to make sure you can keep your food budget in check. I figure the cost of each recipe by using everyday prices from the stores I shop regularly. The actual cost of the recipe may be a little lower or a little higher depending on where you live.

This recipe makes 12 pumpkin muffins. I found the ingredients cost me a total of $1.20 for all of them. Which brings the cost of each muffin to just $.10 each. If you eat a couple of muffins, and an egg you can easily have breakfast for under $.50. That’a great deal.

These crumb cake muffins with pumpkin have a light pumpkin flavor. My husband who doesn’t like pumpkin at all loved these. He didn’t realize they were actually pumpkin muffins.

If you want a more strong pumpkin flavor you can reduce the oil a little and add more pumpkin in its place.

You can also increase the nutmeg or substitute pumpkin pie spice instead of nutmeg.

In a few simple steps and with a few ingredients you can make crumb cake muffins with pumpkin at home. They are great for breakfast but also sweet enough to enjoy as a dessert.
