Just because Thanksgiving is over doesn’t mean we should stop enjoying the delicious pumpkin flavor! These muffins are super soft and full of warm sugary pumpkin goodness. The only thing I would change next time (and there will most definitely be a next time) would be to really load up on the streusel topping….there is never enough streusel in my life. 🙂 I’m pretty sure Brent ate 4 in one day – I think they were a hit with him. Pair one with a cup of coffee and you have the perfect start to finish up last minute holiday shopping. Enjoy!!

I agree, just because it’s not fall weather anymore doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy pumpkin! I’m still making all kinds of pumpkin things 😉 I also bought about 15 cans of pumpkin in fear that one day they’ll just disapear off of the shelves! I might cry when that happens hehe
