This Pumpkin Muffin Recipe bakes up super moist muffins, covered with an easy crumb topping and drizzled with a cream cheese glaze. They are the perfect fall treat!

My sweet daughter and I just love sweet goodies made with pumpkin. We just can not get enough of them.

These big beautiful Pumpkin Muffins make for a marvelous breakfast with a big cup of coffee or a after dinner sweet treat with a glass of milk. These delectable treats can be made up to several days in advance however store them in the fridge after the glaze has been drizzled on because cream cheese definitely requires refrigeration. What is it about cream cheese and pumpkin? That delicious combination is just so incredibly scrumptious!!

HOW TO MAKE PUMPKIN MUFFINS.

This pumpkin muffin recipe is a three part recipe but easy doable. Are you in a hurry? You can make the crumb topping and the cream cheese drizzle ahead of time.

The first part is the cake part of the muffin. Whisk the flour, spices, salt, baking powder and baking soda together. Mix the sugars, eggs, buttermilk and pumpkin together. Add the dry mixture to the wet mixture and divide evenly in a well greased muffin tin.

The second step is the delicious crumb topping. Combine the flour, sugars, and cinnamon. Slowly add the melted butter until the mixture is crumbly. Divide the mixture evenly over the top of the muffins and gently press down so the crumb mixture adheres. Bake and fully cool the muffins.

In the final step beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla and milk until smooth. Drizzle over the cooked cooled muffins. They look so good you can almost taste them!!

HELPFUL HINTS TO MAKE THESE PUMPKIN MUFFIN RECIPE EPIC.

Fill the muffin tins just shy of the top therefore leaving enough room to add a couple of tablespoons of the crumb topping.
Gently press the crumb topping down so that it stays in place and secure.
Add the milk to the cream cheese mixture very slowly so that you can test for the right consistency for drizzling. Practice on a muffin or two to make sure you have it perfect.
You can mix the cream cheese drizzle ahead of time but remove it from the ice box 30 minutes ahead of time so that it is the right consistency.
