Made with Greek yogurt and pumpkin puree, Pumpkin Coffeecake Muffins are a tasty and nutritious option for anytime of day! 

I may be a girl who loves sunshine and the beach, but when it comes to seasons — fall is where it’s at. There is just so much about this time of year that I love — especially when it comes to the kitchen! The smells of cinnamon and nutmeg, the abundance of pumpkin and sweet potatoes and mushrooms and all the other amazing produce in season. Then there are all the holidays! I’m lucky enough to start early with Rosh Hoshana and Yom Kippur this month and early October. Then we have two of the best food holidays out there — Halloween (if you count candy and chocolate as food, which you should) and Thanksgiving!

#SundaySupper certainly knows that fall is the best time for cooking and baking up a storm, so we’ve got you covered with all sorts of crazy ideas for things to make this season. Thanks to our wonderful hosts, Coleen of The Redhead Baker and Conni of The Foodie Army Wife! 

I made a deal with myself that I wouldn’t do a thing with pumpkin until September hit. I can’t believe how many bloggers started the pumpkin baking way back in early August. I just couldn’t bring myself to do it. But we’re well into September now, and Tuesday is technically the first day of Fall, so baking with pumpkin is definitely allowed. Especially in the form of Pumpkin Coffeecake Muffins.

I made a coffeecake a few weeks ago for a brunch I was attending. FAILURE. I don’t know what happened, but the center just did not cook. I baked it at night, took it out of the oven and marveled over how amazing it looked and smelled, and left it on the counter for the next morning. When I went to cut the first slice, I was met with a big, gloppy mess of under-baked cake. I was absolutely horrified and super embarrassed, but I vowed I would try the recipe again soon. That’s when the idea of these Pumpkin Coffeecake Muffins was born.

I couldn’t just try the plain coffeecake this time around, I had to do something a little different. Muffins instead of cake, because muffins are cute and fun and who doesn’t love muffins? And pumpkin because pumpkin is delicious and nutritious and makes things all moist and yummy. These Pumpkin Coffeecake Muffins are pretty healthy, too. There is no butter or oil in the batter, and I used coconut oil in the crumb topping. That crumb topping is the BEST part. My favorite kind of dessert has a crumb topping good enough to pick off and eat on its own. And that’s basically what I did here. 

But then I stopped because the muffin is just as amazing and tastes even better with all that crumbly goodness. 

I’d eat these Pumpkin Coffeecake Muffins for breakfast, brunch, or dessert. Actually, let’s be real, I’d eat this any time of day.

4. Reduce the mixer to low-medium speed and add in the Greek yogurt and dry ingredients alternately in 4 parts, starting and ending with dry.
5. Use a medium cookie scoop to fill each muffin liner. Use two scoops per liner.
