    Hi friends! Happy Thursday! So I know some people have already decorated for Christmas... and they're fully embracing the Christmas spirit... but I'm over here like, LET PUMPKIN HAVE ITS MOMENT! I feel like I spent September and October showcasing a lot of Halloween and apple recipes, and pumpkin got put on the back burner. Well, its time to shine has now come! I posted that Pumpkin Cobbler last week, and now I have these cute little muffins for you. These Vegan Pumpkin Muffins with Brown Sugar Streusel are so easy to make, delicious, and they taste just like fall. Spiced pumpkin muffins are topped with a mixture of brown sugar, oats, and pepitas for a sweet caramelized crunch, and drizzled with a simple vanilla icing for the perfect finishing touch.

    So... confession time. I have never posted a pumpkin muffin recipe on here before... because I've never made pumpkin muffins! WHO AM I. Okay, well, I will admit I made these oatmeal pumpkin muffins a long, long, long time ago but do those count? I am gonna say no. Besides, these are also vegan and have the most irresistible crunchy streusel on top ? I am such a sucker for a good streusel, are you??

    These pumpkin muffins are a riff on my famous banana bread/muffins and they are similarly easy to make!! You really just sub mashed bananas for some canned pumpkin, add some spices, and you are set. The streusel on top is my favorite part BUT - if you're feeling lazy, you can skip it! I would recommend y0u add chocolate chips or something extra to them though, because the pumpkin muffins themselves are not super sweet. So you need something to make them a little sweeter! And you should still make the glaze because it's so super quick!

      Hi Valentina,

      thanks for sharing this. I never thought of putting streusel on muffins, but it sounds like a great idea!
      We made some dairy free carrot oat muffins (good job on your historic pumpkin oatmeal ones btw 😉 ) a few weeks ago and now that I think about it, some sweet topping would have fit in very well!

      Do you reckon you can achieve a similar result to yours using honey as a binder
      instead of coconut oil/vegan butter? Maybe not for the color but for consistency and overall "feeling"?

      Thanks 🙂

        Thank you so much for your comment, Edward! I think you could definitely try doing a topping with honey! It might be a bit more crunchy than mine (think more granola-like) but I bet it would be tasty!
