As soon as the first hint of pumpkins emerges from the farms, my son is going down the list asking for his favorite pumpkin recipes. He can’t quite seem to get enough pumpkin anything in the fall. His first request this year was for pumpkin crumble muffins! They are his all-time favorite fall treat. In his words, they are scrum-dittili–umptious. I would have to say I agree.
There is nothing like having an entire house filled with the amazing aroma of fall. The spice combination that fills the muffins are warm, tickling your taste buds.
As I pulled these from the oven, the children waited rather impatiently. Once they were placed on the cooling rack, their patience was tried even more. “How many pictures are you going to take?” echoed from their lips. I snapped several photos, and caved. They just smelled too good to not savor them warm.
The best thing about this recipe, other than eating them, is the fact that they are so simple. You don’t even need a mixer, just a bowl and spoon!

Those look delicious. I haven’t introduced my kids to pumpkin goodness yet, but this may be the perfect recipe to start with.
Pumpkin is one of my favorites to bake with, so my kids have had since they could eat. Now they ask for us to bake and freeze the puree for later in the winter too.
These look incredible! Pinning for weekend baking ????
Thanks Gina! They are completely delicious.
I’m baking up a lot of pumpkin this month as well. Muffins are such a nice way to share the flavors of fall. Thanks for sharing yours.
Oh goodness. Do I have some ideas for you Karen:)
I’m not a big pumpkin fan, but I bet my hubby would like these. He goes to work really early in the mornings, so this would be easy for him to grab and go.
These sound so yummy! I can’t wait to try them. Thank you so much for sharing your recipe with us.
