Streusel-Topped Pumpkin Spice Latte Muffins
These streusel-topped pumpkin spice latte muffins are spiked with coffee and goodness! They make for a nice warm treat on a cool fall day, they have a light texture and are sweeter than our regular muffins.
Tips:
- You can use an ice cream scoop to portion the dough, ensuring portion size and keep things tidy.
- You can omit the streusel by topping with oven-baked pumpkin seeds. Check muffins at the 20-minutes mark if you chose to omit the streusel.

I made these today to use up some pumpkin and they were absolutely delicious. The streusel topping is wonderfully crunchy and adds a fabulous element to the muffins and the coffee is a great flavour bomb!! I’ll be making them again!! Don’t even think of leaving the coffee out!
Marie-Pierre Lessard
Wonderful! Thank you Roslyn!

Love pumpkin loaf and muffins
Becky Pears
Can this be done gluten free?
Crosby Molasses
Hi Becky, I haven’t ever made them with gluten free flour but the recipe should work just fine with a 1:1 GF flour.
Lule
Fantastic recipe! Made a loaf instead of muffins; baked it a little longer, 55 minutes. Great flavours with Crosby molasses, pumpkin spice and rich coffee lingering in the background. Very moist and not too sweet; streusel topping would be great on ANY loaf, muffin or coffee cake. A lovely recipe to add to my fall/ winter collection. Thank you Bridget!
Crosby Molasses
Thanks for the suggestion to bake as a loaf Lule. Glad you enjoyed it.
LESLEY
Can you leave out the coffee in the recipe?
Crosby Molasses
Hi Lesley, Yes, you can replace the coffee with water or tea. Enjoy!
