Pumpkin Pecan Crunch Muffins

Super crunchy topping and a lot of it!  The top is the best part of a muffin and this recipe gives you double the crunchy stuff! We love crunchy stuff!

Pumpkin Pecan Crunch Muffins

You can make these jumbo or regular size.  These jumbo muffins are made in a regular size muffin tin….I just use jumbo muffin cups.  How clever is that?   My local Safeway has them, so I’m hoping they are not too hard for you to find.    I found them on Amazon as well.

But if you can’t find them, don’t let that stop you from making these.  Regular size muffin cups will work just fine!

This recipe makes 7 jumbo’s or 12 regular size…either way, there is a plethora of topping in this recipe.  I actually had some left and stored it in the freezer…unheard of!  I always run out of topping, frosting or glaze so this recipe is a real treat!

Can I freeze these Pumpkin Muffins?

• Absolutely and they freeze so well!  Store in freezer bags for up to 3 months!

I can be such a lazy baker.  Most of the time I do not use two bowls, one for dry and one for wet ingredients.  I just mix up the wet stuff and dump the dry stuff on top.  But with this recipe,  you have to take the time to mix separately.  If you don’t, you will  over mix the batter trying to incorporate the pumpkin and that will result in a flat muffin.  Flat muffins are no fun.  But big puffy muffins?  Those are fun!
