Cake Mix Pumpkin Streusel Muffins
These light and airy pumpkin streusel muffins taste entirely homemade but will save you time since they are made with a cake mix base. Any brand of spice cake mix will work as long as it is 15.25 ounces.
Ingredients
Pumpkin Muffin Ingredients
- 1 15.25-ounce spice cake mix any brand
- 1 15-ounce can pumpkin
- 2 eggs
- ¼ cup water
- ¼ cup vegetable oil
Streusel Topping Ingredients
- 3 Tablespoons salted butter, softened
- ⅓ cup brown sugar
- ⅓ cup all-purpose flour
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350° F.
- Prepare the streusel topping first. In a small bowl, mix together the softened butter, brown sugar, and flour until it forms small, course crumbs. Set aside.
- To prepare muffins, add the spice cake mix, pumpkin, eggs, water, and vegetable oil in a large mixing bowl. Use an electric mixer and mix on low for about 30 seconds followed by 1 minute at medium speed. Otherwise, mix with a whisk by hand until all ingredients are thoroughly combined for about 2 minutes.
- Line your muffin tins with baking cups, and fill the liners with batter so they are no more than ⅔s full. Sprinkle the streusel evenly over all muffin batter.
- Bake the muffins in preheated oven for about 20-24 minutes. All ovens vary, so test for doneness after about 20 minutes as not to overbake. Carefully remove the muffins once done and let finish cooling on a wire rack.
Notes
The muffins may be stored at room temperature for up to 3 days. Leftover muffins also freeze well to be enjoyed at at later date.
