The little gal was up early yesterday morning. Hours earlier than her normal wake-up time. We also didn’t have any plans for the morning – which doesn’t happen enough – so we filled it up with some baking and then we went to IKEA and walked around for a while because it was raining. Miraculously, we walked out of there without purchasing a single thing – which also doesn’t happen enough.
The muffins turned out deliciously, and are probably the best muffins I’ve ever made. Maybe it’s because they are more like cupcakes with that streusel topping? Either way, they were the perfect addition to our rainy fall day. Enjoy!
Pumpkin Oatbran Streusel Muffins
makes one dozen
PRINT Recipe
- 1/4 C butter
- 1/4 C white sugar
- 1/4 C packed brown sugar
- 3/4 C canned pumpkin
- 1/4 C milk
- 1/4 C brewed coffee
- 2 eggs
- 1 1/2 C flour
- 1/2 C oatbran
- 1 t baking soda
- 1/2 t baking powder
- 1/2 t cinnamon
- pinch of nutmeg
- 1/4 t salt
Streusel
- 1/4 C flour
- 2 T butter (cold)
- 2 T brown sugar
- 1 t cinnamon
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Combine the butter and sugars until smooth. Add the pumpkin, milk, coffee, and eggs and mix.
In a separate bowl, combine the flour, oatbran, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Gradually add this to the pumpkin mixture and mix until just combined.
Transfer batter to lined (or greased) muffin tins.
Combine the ingredients for the streusel (I just mashed the butter in with my fingers) and sprinkle it over the top.
Bake for 20 – 25 minutes.


coffee?!?! gotta try these!!
Oat bran is a favorite of mine. It’s included in my breakfast [with a mix of other flours] almost everyday. Streusel topping? I’m sold! Ikea without me???
AB’s outfit kills me. Can I call her that? I think she’s outgrown Baby A!! ahhhh
I almost bought some batteries and then thought, I CAN’T JUST GO TO IKEA FOR BATTERIES, ASHLEY WOULD LAUGH AT ME.
I cannot get over the first two pictures. CANNOT!
Are you kidding me with that little mini apron!??! Plus the cute diaper bottom?!!
Great looking recipe! …how do you come up with this stuff? As more of a fitness than food buff (pun perhaps intended?),
I marvel at how others can make something out of nothing. So great!
And Baby A just looks so adorable – I know you get that every day! – but I show pictures of her to my husband and say, “THAT makes me want to have a baby.”
I appreciate you! Have a beautiful fall day.
oh how i love sweet A – she is so stinking precious!
Best kitchen helper ever. I want one!
Give me your baby.
Ohhh my, along with everyone else, I can’t get over your little A and her outfit. She’s just precious!
oh, your little baby baker is sooo precious!
Oh how Nanie would love to bake with that sweet, adorable, smart, kissable, hugalicious, loving girl. Let’s make that happen sooooonn!! xoxo
Your baby…I die. SO cute. I might have to make these tonight…I love using up oat bran in muffins!
I absolutely LOVE pumpkin muffins. The first time I ever had one was at an apple orchard when I was like 10.. and I STILL think about it! I can’t wait to try these out- and if A likes them they have to be amazing
Your little one is too cute! that outfit is adorable too. and I never walk out of ikea without a purchase.
i love anything pumpkin – and am intrigued by the addition of coffee in this recipe!
These look absolutely fabulous!
Adorable photos of your little baking assistant. Love it when she is peeking over the edge into the mixing bowl. So cute
Yummmmmm! Also – you got out of IKEA without buying anything?? You have to teach me how to do that!!!
You have to go with me.
Wow these look good. I love a good streusel.
Best use of morning time. Ever…I think.
get out of here with that apron.
I don’t know what’s cuter…the kid or the cupcakes. These muffins look to die for with the topping and the little one couldn’t me anymore adorable in her apron.
