Julia Walker
Love these muffins!! I may add extra apple pieces next time. I did a 1/2 cup of chopped pecans to the batter, and used cinnamon sugar topping rather than the struesal topping.
Melissa Lewis
Yummy! I actually subbed squash for the pumpkin (to use it up) but kept everything else the same. Loved the apple chunks, and while it was a bit oversweet, loved the streusel topping. May decrease the sugar next time and keep the topping.
Craig Hendricks
I’ve made these multiple times and they are amazing! One time, I reduced the sugar in the muffins, no streusel and made them into cupcakes with cream cheese frosting. So so yummy
Melissa Estrada
I halved the recipe because I only have one muffin pan. I still used 2 eggs because they were small. I used olive oil instead of vegetable oil. I dusted the tops with cinnamon and sugar instead of the streusel. The muffins were excellent. I will try again with the streusel and also try with a cream cheese light drizzle. I think this is a recipe I will use again and again.

I made a “healthier” version (waaaaay less sugar) and it was really delicious, so I imagine as is, the recipe is also good! I subbed: – whole wheat for half of the flour – only 1/2 c. sugar instead of 2c. (pumpkin puree I had was sweetened) – 1/4 c. oil instead of 1/2 c. – 3x apples lol – swapped the streusel topping for a slice of apple and a pecan half Delish!
Justin Fernandez
Great! Everyone loved the crunchy topping. I added a few pecans to the top too, yummy. I also subbed 1/2 c of stevia for 1/2 c of sugar in the batter.
Amanda King
Definitely not a bad muffin. The pumpkin doesn’t stand out enough, in my opinion. It just tastes like a spice muffin. I always follow a recipe exactly the first time, and tweak from there. I am going to add some molasses and increase the apple, adjusting the flour accordingly.
Patrick Jennings
I have never made these with the streusel topping and I always use 3/4c white and 3/4c brown sugar, never the full amount and they are still plenty sweet. I usually make some minis (bake for 8 mins) and some regular size (bake for 22 mins)
Alejandra Morse
Mine only needed 30 minutes to be perfect
Lori Vang
Excellent! I cut oil in half, added 1/2 cup applesauce, 1/2 tsp cinnamon, subbed 1/2 c WW for AP flour, cut sugar in half in batter and streusel. Still tasted like a treat!
Jill Robbins
Loved it, it’s a keeper! Will become a fall tradition. To lighten it I cut the oil in half and replaced the removed half with applesauce. I cut the sugar in half in streusel and batter. Added a little fiber by exchanging a half cup of all-purpose flour for whole wheat.

This was so good! I want to make it again! I did make a couple of changes based on what I had and a tip from the comments. 1)Rather than canned pumpkin I used fresh. It’s what I had on hand. It helped give it less of a pumpkin flavor which I though was disappointing, however people who had it that did like pumpkin thought it was perfect. 2)For the strudel part, rather than white sugar I used brown. 3) my muffin tin only holds 6 at a time and I didn’t want to bake 18 muffins 6 at a time. So I instead poured the batter into a loaf pan, and had enough to make 4 muffins. So good both ways! The loaf took longer but tasted just as good!
Patricia Rodriguez
Fantastic fall goodness. I added 1/4 more oil and baked as a cake.
Vincent Dunn
I read the reviews first. Used some suggestions. First these muffins are done in my oven in 25min. I imagine if I had used the suggested time they would have been dry and overly brown. I did sub brown sugar for the white as I tend to do that with alot of my baking. I have a family of 6 and had my nephews over so I doubled the batch and quadrupled the topping. I used a 3tbl spoon cookie scoop and made overflowing scoops. I got 24 muffins and put the rest in a 9in round pan. The 9in took around 35min to bake. I also don’t use pumpkin pie spice so I did a tbl spoon of cinnamon, and a 1/2 tsp of ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and allspice. Everyone loved them. Definitely will use again. Thanks for the great recipe!
Eric Shepard
I read a number of the reviews and substituted white sugar for brown sugar, added a whole can of pumpkin puree and tried out the streusel on some and some without. Muffins turned out fabulous! Received rave reviews, moist muffins and great pumpkin taste. Only bake for 18 minutes at 350.
Dustin Brown
I used half white and half light brown sugar in this recipe and purée from our garden pumpkins. Making a half batch of these to test with Cortland fine diced apples yielded the “arm squeeze” seal of approval from my elderly neighbor.
Alexis Sanchez
Followed the directions but did my own off the cuff mix of pumpkin pie spices. Turned out great!
Patrick Moore
So good. I used one cup white sugar and a half-cup brown sugar, and since I had some that needed to be used, I substituted the oil with applesauce.
Roger Krueger
Cut the sugar in half and it was moist and enjoyable
Jenna Collier
Great recipe & flexible for those who like to tinker with recipes (like me!). Replaced 1 cup of flour with oat flour, Reduced the sugar by half and used 2 1/2cups chopped apple. Also added walnuts for extra crunch. Super
William Lozano
Baked this today as a 13×9, very happy with it. drizzled on a maple glaze instead of the streusel. Very good recipe that you can tweak in different ways for variety
