streusel for pumpkin muffins

There is something so special and comforting about fall… as well as pumpkin spiced muffins. They signify the beginning of a slower season, where days are shorter, the air is colder and everything pumpkin is back in season!

Growing up, I didn’t know that you could have pumpkin desserts. To me pumpkin was a vegetable that you added on top of couscous or in soup and that was it. Believe it or not I actually hated pumpkin… I ate all the veggies except pumpkin because it was just too weird for me.

Fast forward 15 years, I moved to American and spent my first thanksgiving here. There was pumpkin cheesecakes, pumpkin pies, and even pumpkin lattes. I couldn’t believe how many uses Americans found for pumpkin.

I was a bit reluctant to try them but then decided to go for the cheesecake, to my surprise, it tasted incredibly good!

Was I a pumpkin lover now? Ehh..

Was I a sweet pumpkin dessert lover? Abso-freaking-lutely!!!!

This is the best bakery style pumpkin streusel muffin recipe

When I worked at the bouchon bakery here in Las Vegas at the Venetian hotel, every fall we would get these beautiful, super spiced up pumpkin muffins. Believe me when I say they didn’t last long. We opened the bakery at 6AM, they were gone by 8-9am… They were that good. Moist, pumpkinny, and topped with a delicious steusel.

For this bakery style pumpkin recipe, I was inspired by Thomas Keller’s pumpkin muffin recipe. I used all the spices he uses in his muffins these taste super close to the real thing.

These copy cat Bouchon Bakery pumpkin muffins can be enjoyed in the comfort of your own homes without having to travel all the way to Las Vegas, New York, or California.

What’s so special about these streusel pumpkin muffins?

Often times, when I write this section of the article I feel like I should just repeat each word of the title or name of the recipe and call it a day. I am so passionate and swoon by the flavor of each recipe that I feel like the words should do it justice but I’m gonna skip that and give you all the best details of this recipe!

  • These are the closes Bouchon Bakery Copy Cat pumpkin muffins I’ve ever tried.
  • They are full of fall flavors, from cinnamon to all spice, we got it all!
  • These muffins are super moist and stay that way for a while.
  • Topped with pumpkin seed streusel to give it an added layer of flavor and texture.

If you are trying to make the real bouchon muffins you will need to make them in bigger muffin tins. These are regular sized muffins and I like them this way because it’s easier to control how much you eat!

Why do I have to let muffin batter rest?

To get the perfect bakery style muffins, you have to do what the professional bakers do. They let their muffin batter rest so that the startch molecule from the flour absorb the liquid in the batter. In this case, it would be the eggs, pumpkin puree, oil …

The muffin batter will become thicker and more viscous at the end of the rest period. This technique also allows any gluten formed during the mixing of the batter to relax, yielding a perfectly moist and soft muffin!

How to make pumpkin streusel?

While the muffin batter is resting, Add all the streusel ingredients to your clean stand mixer bowl and mix using a paddle attachement. Move the pumpkin streusel to an airtight container and let it rest in the fridge for 2 hours or overnight.

Tips for the perfect pumpkin streusel muffins

  • Don’t over mix your batter- WE want these muffins soft and moist. So stop mixing as soon as the flour disappears 🙂
  • Don’t over bake your muffins- Pull out your pumpkin muffins as soon as a wooden skewer inserted in the center comes out clean. We want these to stay moist so no over baking..
  • Don’t skip the rest time- The pumpkin muffin batter as well as the streusel need to rest for at least 2 hours or overnight to achieve the perfect bakery style muffin that we are going for.

    These are really tasty and still are fresh a day or two after the initial bake. The pepitas in the streusel topping make it really special.
