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!
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!

Amazing and perfect muffins for Fall weather. I added a few handfuls of mini chocolate chips. Thanks for sharing.
Deneice says
Not enough pumpkin or spice for me. Made today.
Heather says
Extremely tasty! Perfect for the 1st day of autumn tomorrow.
Found melted butter at the base inside my liners, but it could be because i used jumbo parchment liners. I just let the muffins cool, transferred the muffins to new liners, and they are ready to go. – Delicious!
Think the pecans should be added in the instructions for the topping for novice bakers.
Susan says
