I have to store up on canned pumpkin because my kids want these Pumpkin Streusel Muffins (AKA: Pumpkin Crumb Cake Muffins) all year long.
What’s not to love about a pumpkin muffin with streusel crumb topping and vanilla glaze? Dare I say it, but these muffins taste even better than they look. Even though making the streusel and the glaze are a few extra steps, that labor pays big returns in my opinion.

I like to double the batch, and then freeze our leftover muffins for my kids lunches. They LOVE it.

I thought it would be a lot of work with the muffin/streusel/icing stages, but it was so quick and easy. Definitely will be in our regular rotation… thank you for sharing your delicious recipes!
