Everyone loves this pumpkin muffins recipe! Bake up a batch for the best moist interior and crunchy streusel topping.

Easy Pumpkin Muffins

rolled oats, divided

baking powder

baking soda

salt

pumpkin puree

maple syrup

applesauce

unsalted butter, melted (for vegan, use melted coconut oil)

vanilla extract

turbinado sugar*

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Add 12 muffin cups to a muffin tin.

In a medium bowl, mix the 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup rolled oats, and 1 tablespoon of the pumpkin pie spice with the baking powder, baking soda, and kosher salt.

In another bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, maple syrup, applesauce, unsalted butter (melted), and vanilla.

Mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until a smooth batter forms.

In another medium bowl, add the remaining 1/4 cup rolled oats, 2 tablespoons flour, and 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice along with the turbinado sugar and salted butter (cut into small pieces). Cut the butter into the remaining ingredients using a pastry cutter or fork until a streusel topping forms.

Divide the batter evenly into the muffin cups, then top with a thin layer of streusel.

Bake for about 25 to 30 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean. Allow to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then remove the muffins and place them on a cooling rack.

I think the ingredients were a little off as these turned out very strange texture. Is there really supposed to be two whole teaspoons of baking powder along with 1 teaspoon of baking soda? I could tell the flavor was good but they were an odd texture and we couldn’t eat them. I loved the yummy crunchy topping however.

I can’t believe the mediocre reviews - are you kidding me? These muffins are so delicious, not too sweet, and have such a nice texture. Definitely recommend!

These are the best pumpkin muffins ever. They are moist, buttery, soft and loaded with fragrant fall spices with just the right amount of sweetness. Use fresh or canned pumpkin to make these easy pumpkin muffins – no mixer required.

Best Pumpkin Muffins Recipe

butter

brown sugar (packed)

sugar

eggs

tsp pure vanilla extract

all-purpose flour

TBS pumpkin pie spice

cinnamon

tsp baking powder

½ tsp fine sea salt

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

Grease a standard 12-cup muffin tin, set aside.

In a small bowl, mix together flour, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, baking powder and sea salt. Set aside.

In a large bowl whisk together pumpkin puree and melted butter until smooth.

Add brown sugar and granulated sugar and whisk until combined and there are no lumps.

Add eggs and vanilla and stir to combine.

Add dry ingredients and stir until batter is smooth.

If desired, add mix-ins like chocolate chips, cinnamon chips, walnuts, etc. and stir until evenly distributed.

Pour ¼ cup of the pumpkin muffin batter into each well of the muffin tin, and smooth out the top.

Bake in preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are set and a cake tested inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean or with a few crumbs. (I bake mine for 15 minutes but I am 5000 ft above sea level).

Let pumpkin muffins cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes, then remove them and transfer muffins to a wire rack to cool completely.

🎃🧡😋 Easy recipe for copycat pumpkin cream cheese muffins that are even BETTER than Starbucks! Super soft, moist, brimming with pumpkin spice flavor, and filled with tangy-sweet cream cheese! (For anything with an asterisk * behind it, make sure to read the Notes below for additional info and tips.)

Starbucks Copycat Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffins

cream cheese* (very well-softened to room temp)

milk**

pumpkin pie spice***

nutmeg

allspice

cloves

fine sea salt

milk

molasses

pumpkin seeds (optional; divided)

coarse sugar (optional; divided)

Preheat

Preheat oven to 350F. Spray a 12-count muffin pan very well with floured cooking spray or grease and flour the pan; set aside.

Beat

Cream Cheese Filling: To a small bowl, add all the ingredients, and beat with a handheld electric mixer on medium-high speed until smooth and creamy, stopping to scrape down the sides of the bowl as necessary; set aside. Tip - Make sure the cream cheese is very well softened to room temp to make this much faster and easier.

Whisk

Pumpkin muffins: To a large bowl add the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice**, allspice, nutmeg, cloves, salt, and whisk together; set aside.

To a separate large bowl add the sugars, pumpkin puree, oil, milk, molasses, vanilla, and whisk until combined.

Stir

Pour the wet pumpkin mixture over the dry ingredients, and stir until just combined; don’t overmix.

Divide

Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, add enough batter to each prepared cavity of the muffin pan, in between 2/3 and 3/4-full. Don't exceed 3/4 full or muffins could overflow while baking. Divide batter evenly among the 12 cavities.

Transfer

Place the cream cheese mixture into a piping bag or into a plastic bag and snip the very end tip off.

Pipe

Pipe the cream cheese mixture into the center of each of the uncooked muffins, making sure just a little bit of the cream cheese is poking through on top. You aren't adding too much, 1 1/2 to 2 teaspoons approximately per muffin.

Sprinkle

Optionally, evenly sprinkle around the center of each unbaked muffin with pumpkin seeds or coarse sugar like decorator’s sugar or Sugar In The Raw.

Bake

Bake for about 15-17 minutes or until the tops are no longer wet looking and a toothpick inserted into the center of the muffin next to the cream cheese filling comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.****

Cool

Allow the muffins to cool in pans for about 10 minutes before removing and placing on a wire rack to cool completely.
