Pumpkin Apple Streusel Muffins #MuffinMonday

It is the last Monday of the month.  That means it is Muffin Monday, hosted by Stacy of Food Lust People Love.  Each month a group of us get together and share our Muffin recipes.  Muffins are a great, portable, compact food.  Perfect for grabbing on the way out the door to school or work, for putting into the lunchbox or for a delicious and healthy snack for the kids when they come home from school ravenous.

Today I am serving up muffins chock full of Fall Flavors because Fall is my favorite time of year and I'm enjoying it as long as I can.


I served these up to the students in one of Frank's classes with coffee in the morning.  They were a huge hit.  Moist, tender and tasting of Fall.

Pumpkin Apple Streusel Muffins
adapted from Nestle

1 1/4 c. flour
1 c. sugar
1 1/2 t. pumpkin pie spice
1/2 t. baking soda
pinch of salt
2/3 c. pumpkin puree
1 egg
2 T. coconut oil
1 lg apple, peeled, cored and diced small

Streusel

2 T. sugar
1 T. flour
1/4 t. ground cinnamon
1 T. butter

Combine flour, sugar, pumpkin pie spice, soda and salt in a large bowl.  Combine pumpkin puree, egg and coconut oil (warmed to liquid) in a small bowl, mix well.  Add the pumpkin mixture to the flour mixture and stir just until moistened.  Fold in the apples.  Divide into a 12 cup muffin tin lined with baking cups or treated with baking spray. Sprinkle with streusel crumbs.  Bake in a preheated 350* oven for 20 - 25 minutes.

For Streusel: Place all ingredients in a small bowl and cut in butter using a fork until crumbly.  Print Recipe

  1. Pumpkin and apple is a great fall combination, Wendy! I'll bet Frank is the most popular teacher around, if you regularly send in muffins like these.

  5. Wendy,
    What lucky students Frank's got. I have been a baking fiend lately (I weighed out 3 pounds of flour into recipes on Saturday alone) and it is so wonderful to be able to farm out my experiments to willing eaters!
