Ingredients
Scale
For the Muffins:
- 1 box spice cake mix

- 1 cup sour cream
- ¼ cup vegetable oil

- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Crumb Topping:
- ¼ cup granulated sugar

- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 6 tablespoons butter, melted
For the Glaze:
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 teaspoons milk
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F to prepare for baking the muffins.
- Make Muffin Batter: In a large mixing bowl, add the spice cake mix. Then add the pumpkin puree, sour cream, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth using an electric mixer or a wooden spoon.
- Fill Muffin Pans: Spoon the batter into muffin pans sprayed with non-stick cooking spray or lined with paper muffin cups.
- Prepare Crumb Topping: In a separate bowl, combine granulated sugar, light brown sugar, flour, pumpkin pie spice, and melted butter. Mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add Crumb Topping: Sprinkle 1 to 2 tablespoons of crumb topping on each muffin before baking.
- Bake Muffins: Bake the muffins at 350°F for 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Make Glaze: While the muffins bake, combine powdered sugar, ground cinnamon, and milk in a small bowl. Whisk until smooth and free of lumps.
- Glaze Muffins: After baking, drizzle the cinnamon glaze over the tops of the muffins for extra sweetness and flavor.
