How to make Pumpkin Spice Muffins?
Pumpkin Muffins are so simple to make. With only a few ingredients you can't go wrong. I make these Pumpkin Spice Muffins in my Bosch stand mixer, however you can also mix these up using a hand mixer.
Both work just fine for this recipe. My boys love how moist and full of flavor these muffins are and are excited to eat them whenever I make them. Which is from September through November and even into December too!

How to Store Pumpkin Muffins?
Pumpkin Spice muffins will last 3-4 days being covered with plastic wrap or foil.
However, if you wish to store longer, place a paper towel on muffins and then wrap in foil to help keep the moisture from escaping and the muffins from drying out.
Quick Tips
Use a cheese grater to grate ice cold butter for the crumb topping. It will grate easily and also mix into your crumble easily.

Delicious muffins! I skipped the crumb topping, as trying to limit added sugar, plus I was too lazy! Instead I gave each muffin a shake of pie spice before baking. Great way to incorporate canned pure pumpkin. After they cooked completely, I wrapped each and froze them to grab and heat when I want a muffin. Yum!

Hey I love that you tried adding pumpkin pie spice on top. I bet it was delicious! Enjoying frozen muffins later is also a great idea.
