Pumpkin Streusel Muffins with Maple Glaze

Easy to make pumpkin muffins topped with a cinnamon streusel and maple glaze that stay soft and moist (sorry) for DAYS.

Wading through a literal sea of pumpkin muffin recipes looking for the perfect one? Well, look no further ’cause this is it. These pumpkin streusel muffins are super easy to make with just a few simple ingredients and one bowl, no mixer required. They will bake up perfect as is or with some chocolate chips sprinkled into the batter. But, if you want to take them to the next level, you’ve gotta whip up the cinnamon streusel and maple glaze – both of which only require one bowl and a few ingredients, but are 100% worth the extra effort.

The muffins are so soft and moist (sorry but literally what other word am I supposed to use?) and will stay that way for days. They are undoubtedly pumpkin with just a kiss of cinnamon. The streusel gives that crunchy texture we need. And the maple glaze is the fall version of the cherry on top. You’re gonna love ’em!

How to Make Pumpkin Streusel Muffins with Maple Glaze

Make the Cinnamon Streusel

In a medium mixing bowl, stir the flour, sugar, and cinnamon. Cut in the cold butter with a pastry cutter or a fork. Once the butter is broken down a bit, use your fingers to squish the butter into the streusel, until it comes together and is crumbly. Set aside.

Make the Pumpkin Muffins

Preheat the oven to 425 and line two muffin pans with 16 total liners. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the canola oil, granulated sugar, brown sugar, pumpkin puree, eggs, buttermilk, and vanilla. Add the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, and salt. Fold together using a rubber spatula. Don’t over mix.

Use a large ice cream scoop with a trigger to portion the muffin batter into the prepared pan. The liners should be almost filled to the top. Top each muffin with about 2 tsp of the cinnamon crumble. Bake at 425 for 5 minutes, then lower the oven temperature to 350 and continue to cook for another 20-22 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let the muffins cool while you make the maple glaze.

Make the Maple Glaze

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk the powdered sugar and cinnamon. Stir in the maple syrup and vanilla extract until smooth. Add in the heavy cream a little at a time until you reach your desired consistency. I like mine a bit on the thin side, but that’s totally up to you! Pour the glaze over each muffin right before serving.
