Pumpkin Crumble Muffins

Sometimes, when literally nothing goes right, I find that baking is the one thing that keeps me sane.  Thats why I’m sharing this recipe. So a more appropriate name may be My “Stay Sane Pumpkin Crumble Muffins”. I highly suggest these muffins, wether you’re craving an incredibly moist and delicious muffin, have that premature fall/pumpkin bug thats going around, need to stay sane, or a mixture of all three.
