Ingredients
  

Muffin Ingredients
  • 1 box spice cake mix
  • 15 oz pumpkin puree canned
  • 0.5 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 0.5 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
Streusel Topping Ingredients
  • 0.75 cup all-purpose flour spoon & leveled
  • 0.25 cup granulated sugar
  • 0.33 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 6 tbsp unsalted butter melted
Glaze Ingredients
  • 1 cup confectioners' sugar
  • 1 tbsp whole milk

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry cake mix, 0.5 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, vegetable oil, and pumpkin puree. Stir together with a large spoon until just combined.
  3. Place paper cups in a muffin tin pan and fill about 3/4 of the way with the muffin batter. Set aside.
Making the Streusel Topping
  1. In a separate mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, light brown sugar, 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice, and melted butter. Stir with a fork until crumbly and combined.
  2. Spoon a generous amount of streusel crumb topping over the top of each muffin. Gently push the streusel down into the pumpkin cake mix a bit using the back of your spoon.
Baking and Glazing
  1. Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake at 350 degrees F for 23-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  2. While the muffins are baking, prepare the glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the confectioners' sugar and whole milk until smooth.
  3. Remove muffins from the oven and allow them to cool slightly in the pan before transferring to a wire rack. Once cooled, drizzle the prepared glaze generously over the top of each muffin. Serve warm, or at room temperature.

Notes

These muffins are perfect for a fall breakfast, brunch, or dessert. They store well in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
