These delightfully flavorful, moist, spiced and filling pumpkin muffins fueled me through a brutal 7 mile run on Saturday. (<-did anyone notice the excessive alliteration there with the letter “f”?)
Fall allergies + cold + wind = exhausted Amanda. Does anyone else have fall allergies? I would like to virtually hug you and tell you I feel you. It stinks. Seriously.
But for some reason I signed up for a half-marathon in the fall and I only have two weeks left of training…so I downed a pumpkin muffin, put on my big girl pants, my Gilmore Guys podcast (anyone?) and got it done.
These peanut butter oat pumpkin muffins also make an amazingly quick breakfast to grab on the way to work. Or if you’re me, to have as a second breakfast after a morning coffee catering event. Like a little treat for all of my hard work.
Speaking of coffee, these streusel topped babies are amazing with a hot cup of joe.
This was actually my first time making streusel. Another one of those things that is stupid easy, but I’ve just never attempted it. All that’s in this spiced streusel is oats, butter, sugar and pumpkin spice. So simple but it really adds a layer of decadence to the muffins. Like baked cinnamon sugar oat crumble. It’s also a perfect compliment to the moist pumpkin spiced muffin with a subtle peanut butter flavor.

Mmmmhmmmm! I love breakfast muffins, especially when they involve peanut butter 😉 These look like a great morning pumpkin treat! No fall allergies here… at least that I know of. Mitchell has them though and they’re no fun!
I seriously need to make some more of those..it’s a wonder I didn’t get sick of them (don’t tell–I ate most of them myself in a week lol).
Aw poor Mitchel! He can’t even blow his nose because he’s a dog! 🙁
This sounds so delicious! I never make enough pumpkins, but I really should! Thanks so much for linking up with us 🙂
Yes, you should definitely try this out! It’s pumpkin season! 🙂
ooh these do look like the perfect coffee compliment! Yummy! Thanks for linking up with us for Meatless Monday today
Yes..I need to make some more this week so my coffee won’t be so lonely! 🙂
pb + pumpkin = perfection! Im loving pumpkin week! 🙂
I was so excited to see you using the hashtag, Rachel! <3
I honestly don’t know if it is possible to cram more drool inducing words and ingredients into a recipe!
muahaha I try! 😉
Peanut butter…oats…pumpkin…streusel…can’t really decide which part of this I would enjoy more!
Right?? When it’s mixed all together it’s pure amazingness.
Amanda your recipe looks so good. And it’s gluten free! No tweaking needed 🙂
Yes! I’m so happy it turned out so amazing just using oats for the flour!! Thanks, Jill!
If I made these I would eat all of them in two days…haha. Maybe I will make them and make Scott bring half of them into work 😉
haha that’s the trick! You have to have people to share them with! Or you could always freeze half of them! 🙂
YES PLEASE. Holy cow these sound freaking awesome! Love the photos too 😀
Thanks so much, Ashley! On both accounts..I’ve been working on my photography so it makes me so happy that people are noticing! 🙂
These sound perfect for breakfast!!! Or any meal really! 🙂
Absolutely! I eat them for breakfast, snacks and pre or post workout! So basically all the time haha.
