Pumpkin Muffins with Cinnamon Streusel Topping
So yesterday I realized that I am sooo not ready to let my little guy go to school.
On the way to work, I passed by a group of literally 20 kids waiting for the bus and with the 20 kids were like 6 moms all waving to their little ones as they ride off on the bus. My heart broke.
I just envisioned myself doing that someday and almost started to cry….
Yes I know he is only 2 but I just don’t know if I can do it.
One thing I know I CAN do though… is….. make more Pumpkin Recipes!!! bahaha..
I really hope I’m not scaring you away from my site with all these pumpkin recipes! I promise Friday will be something different.
I just can’t help it! I’m on a pumpkin kick and literally can’t… kick it!!! 🙂
So today is one of my favorites, Pumpkin Muffins … yum!
If you’ve been around JHE a while you know that I am all about “on-the-go” breakfasts and snacks!
I’m a busy momma so I usually eat something on the go and muffins are my on-the-go food of choice. Love em!
They fill you up, give you a little bit of sweet in the morning, and are just darn right tasty!
What’s better than that?
With my love for muffins I have had to figure out a way to perfect getting a moist muffin.
Dry muffins are one of my biggest pet peeves … all crumbly and gross. Yuck, who wants to eat that!
My favorite way to add moistness to the muffin batter without compromising the health of it is to use coconut oil 🙂 Plus it gives a slight coconuty taste.. yum!
These Pumpkin Muffins are not short on moistness in any way, the coconut oil + the pumpkin puree = one super moist muffin. Top it off with a slightly crunchy Cinnamon Spiced Pecan Streusel and you have yourself one of the best muffins this fall … hands down!
So… what have you learned here today?
Coconut oil rocks… and you need to make these muffins! Ready….. GO!

I don’t like to use coconut oil in cooking. Have you tried the recipe with other oils? If so, did you use the same amount? Thank you in advance 🙂
no worries lisa, you could easily sub canola or vegetable oil instead. It’s a 1:1 ratio so you should be good!
Do you melt the coconut oil for the streussel as well?
Yup, sure do Dorothea! 🙂
I made these tonight.. Little late getting on board with the pumpkin craze. I used unsweetened applesauce instead of coconut oil( don’t have any, never tried it) and they came out moist. I loved them!gonna find me some coconut oil, make another batch, and compare.:) Thanks for this great recipe

Oh awesome to hear it Sandy, good call on the applesauce, it is a great substitute for any oil in a bread/muffin recipe. 🙂
Yum!! These muffins look delicious Krista. Man…am I out of the loop this summer! I love the new site! When did you go back to work? You still have time before little man goes off to school. 😉

Ya know, coconut oil is something I’ve never used before! I know I should probably get on board… I’m loving all the fall flavours by the way!
OH Ashley, you will love it. I use it all the time now, even instead of olive oil when I’m cooking because it has a higher cooking temp than olive oil does.
Getting ready to make a recipe with streusel topping here today. Why? Because it’s the best topping EVER. These look so fluffy and delish!
Um.. heck yes its the best topping! Totally on the same page with ya Melanie!
