Best Ever Pumpkin Spice Muffins

I love Pumpkin Spice season.  I also happen to love muffins.  I make at least one batch of muffins per week.  So, it only makes sense that I would find the best, most delicious pumpkin spice muffins!

Pumpkin Spice season seems to run longer every year.  I’d say it runs from September through November now. It used to just be October.  I personally keep canned pumpkin in my pantry year-round. I don’t only make muffins.  I’ll make coffee drinks, donuts (see my Pumpkin cream-filled Cinnamon Donuts here), pancakes, soups, stews… you name it.  Pumpkin is such a versatile and healthy ingredient. Pumpkin Spice is only one way to season pumpkin. There are many ways.  For more inspiration, check out this savory Pumpkin Cream Sauce recipe.

Some recipe tips: When you are baking these Best Ever Pumpkin Spice Muffins, be careful not to overbake.  The best texture comes from pulling them out of the oven right as they firm up. So be sure to check them at 18 minutes.  Also, I personally make the streusel topping with my fingers. I find it better to create the even texture that way, but you can use a fork to mix it up.  

My Best Ever Pumpkin Spice Muffins have the hearty texture of a good breakfast muffin topped with a streusel that includes crispy pumpkin seeds.  They are a true delight.
