Pumpkin Cranberry Streusel Muffins

PUMPKIN CRANBERRY STREUSEL MUFFINS — Tender pumpkin muffins are studded with fresh cranberries and topped with a cinnamon pecan streusel in this not-too-sweet pastry that’s perfect for breakfast or snacking.


Pumpkin Cranberry Streusel Muffins

Muffins are a favorite grab and go breakfast at my house and it’s the perfect time of year for making these Pumpkin Cranberry Streusel Muffins.

These muffins are loaded with so many wonderful fall flavors, like pumpkin and cranberry (of course), plus cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg and allspice. So they don’t just taste delicious, they smell delicious while they’re baking.

And don’t forget about the buttery, cinnamon infused pecan streusel. I don’t know about you, but I’ve never met a muffin that wasn’t improved with some streusel topping.

When you add the streusel to these muffins, you’re going to feel like it’s way too much. But trust me. Go ahead and pile it on, because when these muffins bake, that streusel is going to spread, and you’ll end up with just the right amount.

Walnuts make a great substitution for the pecans, or if nuts aren’t your thing, you can leave them out of the streusel all together. But whatever you do, don’t skip the streusel!

These muffins aren’t overly sweet, which I prefer when I’m enjoying a muffin for breakfast or a late night snack. And my kids love enjoying these muffins after school with an ice cold glass of milk.

Of course, the streusel can get a little messy, so I usually insist they sit at the table–what is it about teenage boys that makes them wander the house with food? 

These muffins were a wonderful addition to my fall baking this season. The flavors, colors and scents were all perfect for enjoying this time of year. I hope you love these pumpkin and cranberry muffins and much as I did.
