Soft and fluffy Pumpkin Muffins topped with a brown sugar crumble and cinnamon icing.
I’ve been playing around with my Pumpkin Muffin recipe and I have a new and improved version just in time for fall (yes, I’m already counting the days). These soft and fluffy muffins are loaded with pumpkin and warm spices, topped with a brown sugar crumble, and drizzled with cinnamon icing.
Are they as delicious as they sound? ABSOLUTELY! And they are ready and waiting for that first chilly autumn day.

Recipe overview:
These muffins are a cross between a coffee cake and a muffin. They can be enjoyed for breakfast or dessert (or both!). Here’s what makes up this recipe:
- Muffins: This muffin batter comes together in minutes – no mixer needed. Pumpkin puree and oil keep these muffins moist while pumpkin pie spice and cinnamon add the classic fall flavors. I keep the muffins mildly sweet, since they also have a crumb topping and icing.
- Crumb topping: Brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, butter, and flour. Sweet, buttery, crumbly goodness topping every bite of these muffins!
- Icing: A simple mixture of powdered sugar, milk, and a dash of cinnamon. The icing gets drizzled over the tops of the muffins, filling in the crevices of the crumb topping.
Recipe tips:
- Use canned pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling (which is already sweetened).
- You can omit the crumb topping and icing for a more “basic” pumpkin muffin. Note: the muffins themselves are not overly sweet.
- Don’t overmix the batter, as this can make the muffins tough. Mix just until the dry ingredients and wet ingredients are combined.
- Use an ice cream scoop to add the batter into the muffin cups.
- These muffins are best within 1-2 days of being made. Over time the crumb topping will soften from the moisture in the muffin.
- Storage: Leftover muffins can be stored at room temperature or in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. The muffins can be frozen for up to 2 months.
