Recently, I have seen so many boxed muffin top mixes at grocery stores. And, I got to thinking. Who really came up with the very first muffin top recipe?

Google informed me that it was Ellen on Seinfeld. Or, well, a writer or whoever dreamed it up for the show.

But, even with Google’s help, I still couldn’t figure out who shared the very first muffin top recipe. I think it just might have been some food blogger somewhere. If you happen to know, please do tell…

You can make these delicious Pumpkin Spice Streusel Muffin Tops without a special muffin-top pan. These are an easy and portable breakfast, snack, or even dessert.

Ingredients

For the pumpkin spice muffin tops

• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup almond flour
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 3/4 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp baking soda
• 2 tsp pumpkin spice
• 1 egg
• 3 tbsp pumpkin purée not pumpkin pie filling
• 1 1/2 tbsp almond milk
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

For the streusel topping

• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tbsp granulated sugar
• 2 tbsp light brown sugar
• 2 tbsp vegan butter cold

Instructions

• Preheat the oven to 375.
• Add the all-purpose flour, almond flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and pumpkin spice together in a large bowl and mix well until all are well incorporated.
• Then add in the egg, the pumpkin purée, the almond milk, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients and mix well.
• Tough should be wet but easily pliable. So, using a large spoon, drop spoonfuls onto a silpat-lined baking tray and form into circular mounds.
• Then make the streusel topping by adding the all-purpose flour, the granulated sugar, the light brown sugar, and the butter to a bowl and mixing them together using your fingers. Try to rub the mixture through, grasping at some bits to make them into bigger pieces.
• Divide the streusel topping generously between the 4 muffin tops.
• Place the baking tray with the streusel-topped muffin tops into the oven preheated to 375 degrees for 20-25 minutes.
• When done, remove from the oven and let cool.
• Enjoy at room temperature.

Notes

While I used almond milk and vegan butter, this is not a must. You can use the milk and butter of your choice while making this recipe.
