Instructions

To make the Batter

  • In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, nutmeg and allspice; set aside. In a stand mixer, beat the butter and brown sugar until fluffy. Beat in 1 egg at a time and then the pumpkin and flour mixture on low to medium speed. Mix in the buttermilk. Spoon 1/3 cup of batter into each muffin cup.

To make the Crumble

  • Mix all the ingredients together until a crumbly mixture forms. Divide the crumble over the muffin batter.
  • Bake for 30 minutes. Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

To make the Icing

Notes

Use an ice cream scoop to get the perfect quantity of batter each time.
