Pumpkin coffee cake muffins

Coffee cake itself is a blessing to the world—an icon, really. It doesn’t usually have coffee in it (although there are exceptions, as Claire Saffitz demonstrates), and it has a free pass to be acceptably eaten at any time of day.


This recipe for pumpkin coffee cake muffins contains two variations on the theme, both of which you can glean from the title.


First of all, these are muffins, not cakes. Having “cake” and “muffin” in the title might be a little overwhelming for dessert purists—it certainly does strange things to search engines—but once you try these you’ll understood why they had to be called what they’re called.


They’re not cupcakes. They’re coffee cake muffins.


Secondly, these are pumpkin muffins. They taste like sweet Fall goodness. They look like a golden pile of leaves just blown in by the crisp, cooling air. And they taste darn good, too, thanks to the Kodiak Cakes mix that forms the backbone of these treats.

Coffee cake muffin recipe

I know what you're thinking. Now comes the catch, you say. There's no way these can be this good and be easy. It's a cake!

I'm here to remind you that it's not a cake. It's coffee cake muffins. And it comes together so quickly and easily you'll surprise yourself.

Pumpkin coffee cake muffins ingredients

Here's the rundown:

For the Batter

  • Kodiak Cakes Energy Cakes Pumpkin Flax
  • Water

Good so far, right?

For the Crumb Topping

  • butter
  • Kodiak Cakes Buttermilk Power Cakes
  • brown sugar
  • cinnamon
  • salt

Still good...

For the Icing

  • powdered sugar
  • milk
  • vanilla

And that’s it! That’s all for ingredients.

How to make pumpkin coffee cake muffins

And now for the step-by-step:

  • Preheat the oven to 350. Spray a greased muffin tin with cooking spray and set aside.
  • In a bowl, combine two cups of Kodiak Cakes Energy Cakes Pumpkin Flax and 1.5 cups water. Do not over mix!
  • Pour the batter evenly into the muffin tins.
  • In a small bow, add the crumb topping ingredients together. Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the muffins.
  • Bake at 350 for about 20 minutes.
  • While baking, make the icing. Add the icing ingredients together in a small bowl. Mix very well. Set in fridge until ready to use.
  • Take the muffins out of the oven. Let cool. When cool, add the icing and enjoy!

Seem attainable? It is. Now make them.

Easy healthy pumpkin muffins

You probably didn't come here to kickstart your fitness journey—we're making dessert, after all. Yet the nutrition profile of Kodiak Cakes mix is quite solid: whole grains, vitamins, protein, you name it.

You can fit these into a day of good eating without feeling like you're derailing the whole plan. I call that a win!

How to store muffins

They're baked goods, so not invincible to the sands of time. However, they keep up just fine in a Tupperware or wrapped in aluminum foil.

    You NEED these muffins in your LIFE, like NOW! WOW! These muffins are so moist and taste really well with a cup of coffee. I enjoy pumpkin year round and enjoy baking with pumpkin in the "off" season as well. I was craving something on the sweet side to pair with the cheesy veggie egg white bites for my breakfast meal this week. These are husband approved too! YUMMMM!
