So my neighbors have stopped me several times to tell me how delicious my son’s recipes are , upon making these I can’t believe how amazing they are . I would not change a thing. I used gluten free flour and they’re amazing
I made this in a loaf pan for easier transport to the office. Lowered the temp to 350 and baked for about 50-55 minutes. Delicious!
I aggressively disagree with all these commenters saying to halve the crumb topping. What is even the point of making a crumb top muffin if you don't have a fully crumbed top? Lean in, people! Make the recipe as it was intended! Crumb your muffins!
Still warm from the oven and very good…lovely taste and texture…press the crumble into the muffin otherwise it spills out during cooking… the higher cooking time resulted in a couple of burnt bottoms in one of two muffin tins cooked on the same rack…won’t use that one again…most of my muffin recipes bake at 350…cardamom makes a lovely 5th spice girl!!
Made exactly aa recipe called. Loved the cardamom pop mixed with the right amount of sweetness. Poured into 6 cup muffin tin. Took an extra 10 mins (35 total but I opened the oven door 2x)
Made this as a loaf and cooked it at 375 degrees for 55 -60 minutes and it was perfect! Used one whole sugar pumpkin purée and also made fresh whipped cream in the vita mix-absolute heaven!! New family favorite!!
