In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, pumpkin spice, baking soda, salt and cardamom. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir to combine.

Evenly divide the batter among the muffin cups. Evenly top the batter with crumb topping, gently pressing the crumbs into the batter.

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!
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
Used 1/2 the topping and it was plenty. Used 1/4 cup brown sugar and a little less than 1 cup granulated sugar. Used 1 1/2 TB of pumpkin spice mix. Perfect taste and texture. Will have to make another batch to use up the remaining topping...plan to add chopped walnuts.
I used several of the tips from the comments, plus a few tweaks of my own. Halved the sugar and swapped with dark brown sugar + about three tbsp of molasses. Added one tbsp of bourbon for more flavor and complexity, along with an additional 1/2 tsp of cardamom and only 2 tbsp of pumpkin spice. Used half rye flour, half white flour, and olive oil instead of vegetable oil. Halved the crumb topping and added oats per the recommendations. It was more than enough. Tasty. Would increase spices.
Perfect in every way! These are generous muffins, so I suggest lining your muffin tin with parchment paper squares as they will contain the tops beautifully!
Has anyone tried making this recipe as a cake?
