Buttermilk Pumpkin Muffins with Pumpkin Spice Coffee Crumb Topping
Guys. This is the pumpkin muffin dreams are made of! I cannot tell you how good they are with coffee – you just need to try it for yourself!
The pumpkin spice is so warm and comforting, especially as the temps are getting cooler. The coffee crumb has the best crunch and reinforces that pumpkin spice in the base. And the base is moist and delicious and I’ve made them so many times in the past week – we can’t stop eating them!
These muffins feel like they have a lot going on, but if you make them once you’ll see they’re not complicated and come together so fast. You don’t need anything special to make them either – you could get away with not even owning a whisk!
So first, we make the base. Dry ingredients, wet ingredients, whisk them together. Then the topping. A bunch of simple ingredients you’ll mush (v technical) together with your hands until you can form large chunks. Then, you crumble those chunks into your desired size. And guys – that means you can make these with those huge, huge chunks of coffee crumb we all love. (We all love that, right?)
These guys bake for 30 minutes and then you can dive in, though I definitely recommend letting them cool completely. I burned my mouth on the first batch!
