Pumpkin Crumb Cake Muffins with Maple Glaze
These pumpkin crumb cake muffins with maple glaze are so tender, spicy, and delicious. I’m glad I found this recipe on Sally’s Baking Addiction because they made a tasty treat for my family this Thanksgiving week. My husband was eyeing these muffins all afternoon and seemed very happy when I finished taking pictures of them so he could finally eat one. We all loved these pumpkin crumb cake muffins and thought the crumb topping and glaze made them over-the-top special. My kids thought they were VERY tasty and are looking forward to eating another one for dessert tonight.
How to Make Pumpkin Crumb Cake Muffins with Maple Glaze
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Coat a muffin pan with cooking spray.
Make the muffins by combining the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, and salt in a bowl then mix well.
Whisk together the white sugar, brown sugar, and eggs until thickened and lighter in color, about 1 minute. Add the pumpkin puree, oil, milk, and vanilla; whisk until smooth and creamy.
Gradually add the flour mixture to the pumpkin mixture until just combined. The batter will be fairly thick.
Spoon the batter equally into the muffin pan filling them to the top.
Make the crumb topping by combining the flour, brown sugar, white sugar, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, and melted butter; mix until crumbly.
Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over each muffin and gently press them down so they are snug.
Place into the oven and bake for 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to 350 degrees and continue to cook for 13-16 minutes, or until a tester inserted in the center comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and cool in the pan for a few minutes before putting them on a wire rack over parchment paper to finish cooling.
Make the glaze by combining the powdered sugar together with the pure maple syrup and the milk; mix until creamy and smooth.
Drizzle the maple glaze over the top of the muffins. Serve and enjoy.
