Why We Love Cozy Fall Flavors

There’s something so comforting and nostalgic about a fall palette. Pumpkin, spices, and a buttery crumble are all quintessential seasonal flavors. These pumpkin spice muffins are soft, moist, and full of comforting autumn sensation. Not only are they made with feel-good tastes and textures, the warming nature of the ingredients are great for the shift in weather, according to Ayurveda. Cinnamon, for example, is said to be a warming spice that may help reduce inflammation and support digestion. [1] This showcases a delicious way to add warmth and comfort to seasonal recipes.

How to Make Pumpkin Spice Muffins with a Dandy Blend Crumble Top

The crumble top is the shining star of this already delicious recipe. Start by preheating your oven to 350ºF and line a muffin tin with parchment paper cups or grease well to avoid sticking. Mix together flour, baking soda, pumpkin spice, cinnamon, and salt. Separately, combine the pumpkin purée, maple syrup, butter, eggs, milk, vanilla, and Dandy Blend. Sift the dry ingredients over the wet ones and gently stir until combined. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups and then get started on your crumble top. In a small bowl, roughly chop flour, sugar, cinnamon, Dandy Blend, butter, and salt. Once crumbly, like a thick sand texture, sprinkle over each muffin. Bake for 20-24 minutes or until done. There will be a light browning around the edges. Let cool then enjoy. You can store them in an airtight container for 3-5 days.
