The second the weather dips below 70 degrees, I need some kind of pumpkin bread. These pumpkin coffee cake muffins are not my pumpkin bread<\/a>, but their recipes are related (cousins not sisters). Veins of brown sugar and espresso run through them and they\u2019re topped with a streusel \u2014 that you don\u2019t have to make separately! More on that later!<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have tried to make this recipe as user-friendly as possible. First off, a normal batch makes six muffins with half a can of pumpkin puree. (I like the kinds from Whole Foods and Trader Joe\u2019s. For this recipe and the pumpkin bread recipe, I found that I preferred them to Libby\u2019s for their color and higher moisture.) They rise sky-high out of the tin for a few reasons. 1) We fill the cups up a lot. 2) We add a hefty amount of leavener. 3) A high oven temp helps them spring up right when they hit the heat. 4) Spacing them out in the tin helps the hot air circulate better. And you can easily double the recipe to make a dozen \u2014 and use the whole pumpkin can!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plus! Don\u2019t let the filling and streusel fool you, baby! We make the streusel right at the start of the recipe. Just mix the sugar, flour and butter together, reserve about 1\/4-cup, and then use the rest as the base for the muffin. I learned this little trick from Deb Perelman of Smitten Kitchen<\/a>. Not only that, the filling is so simple: espresso powder, brown sugar and salt, mixed together in a bowl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
