Ingredients

Easy Pumpkin Muffins

  • 15 ounces pumpkin puree unsweetened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup butter melted and cooled
  • 1 15.25-ounce box spice cake mix

Streusel Topping

  • 6 tablespoons butter cold and cut into small cubes
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar
  • 1 cup all-purpose-flour
  • 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. 
  • Grease or line 24 muffin tins with paper liners and set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, eggs, and melted butter. Whisk together until smooth. Add in spice cake mix. Mix until combined.
  • Using an ice cream scoop or a spoon, scoop the batter into the prepared muffin tins, filling them about 3/4 of the way full.
  • In a large bowl, combine the cold cubed butter, brown sugar, flour, and pumpkin spice. Stir with a spatula, wooden spoon or even your hands, mixing until a crumble forms. Sprinkle about 1 tablespoon of streusel topping onto each muffin.
  • Bake for 20-22 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. 
  • Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before removing the muffins from the muffin tin and cooling completely at room temperature. Enjoy!

Notes

Storing instructions: store your leftover muffins in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days, or in the freezer for up to 2 months.  Store in an airtight container or freezer bags and thaw out in the fridge overnight or on the counter top for a few hours.
