Pumpkin Muffins

These amazingly rich pumpkin muffins are perfect for autumn and winter days. The yellow-orange color the pumpkin puree gives to them, makes them look really appetizing.

These muffins taste so good that we have finished them that evening and the next day I made another round. These muffins are a good way, I could say, to include walnuts and have kids eat pumpkin and walnuts in one bite. You can also include chocolate too and have an irresistible treat in no minute.

These muffins can also be a perfect option for a quick breakfast or to take on the go.

    I love pumpkin muffins, and the crumble topping looks just perfect! 🙂

  2. Sunny Author says:

    Oh, these look delicious! I would love to add a pad of cream cheese in the middle of a warmed muffin! Delish!

    Love the addition of the walnuts. They look really light and fluffy.

  4. Rachel Author says:

    These look so moist and delicious. Can’t wait to try these. I bet that’d be great with just a sprinkling of turbinado sugar and some pepitas, but the crumb topping sounds amazing as well.

  5. Jay @ LocalFood.me Author says:

    Yes please! The addition of the walnuts is a great choice.

    Hi! For the pumpkin puree, will any kind be okay to use?Like the big ones?

    1. Ella-HomeCookingAdventure Author says:

      yes.. I always use the big ones.. cut them in slices,  roast them for about 45 minutes at 350F (180C), let them cool, make the puree and freeze some for later use.

  8. Hello, I just tried this muffin recipe (literally, it is still warm), and this was the best muffin I’d ever made. Soft and moist, wonderful texture, and super delicious! Big THANK YOU for this!
