Here we go with another streusel crumble topped muffin or donut recipe.

I seriously love streusel and crumble toppings even though they are very messy and get everywhere… especially with kids.

But since fall is officially here and it’s beginning to get cooler outside, I believe that making all things pumpkin and streusel is justified.

Even if I do have to clean the floor a couple extra times per day. No big deal in the scheme of things.

These pumpkin streusel muffins are incredibly moist and fluffy, almost like your favorite pumpkin bread. And surprisingly, my husband actually ate these muffins and went back for seconds.

He’s not much of a sweets type of guy, he really prefers his steak and potatoes and savory dishes, but there are rare occasions when I make something sweet and he will devour it with the same gusto as the kids.

This was one of those sweets. Who knew that man loved pumpkin?

Even after being with him for more than 10 years I am still learning things about him.

Anyway, pumpkin bread is one of my favorite fall treats and so I decided to try and make it into a muffin form. Then take a streusel topping from the donuts I made previously or the coffee cake muffins from before and top them with that for a little something different and fun.

Then add a sweet, sugary glaze and you have yourself a sweet treat or perfect breakfast muffin for any day of the week. So grab a cup of coffee and bake yourself up a big batch of these.
