Can these muffins be frozen?

Yes again! Freezing them allows you to have a delicious breakfast or afternoon treat whenever you’re in the moods. Simply store your muffins in an airtight container in the freezer and when ready to eat, thaw and reheat them in the microwave for 20-30 seconds.

Is oil or butter better for these muffins?

Although I really do love butter in baked goods, the oil definitely did a great job of keeping these muffins nice and moist. If you don’t like vegetable oil, you can use unsweetened applesauce as a substitute – it will just make the muffins slightly less moist and more fluffier.

If you can’t find pumpkin pie spice, you can do a DIY combination of 3 tbsp. ground cinnamon, 2 tsp. ground ginger, 2 tsp. ground nutmeg, 1 tsp. ground allspice and 1 tsp. ground cloves.
When the muffins bake and increase in size, there will inevitably be some spaces between the clumps of streusel. If you don’t like this, simply save some streusel topping and bake it in a little baking pan separately from the muffins for a few minutes till golden brown. When your muffins are done baking, sprinkle the extra streusel topping to fill those spaces.
To access individual muffins with ease from the freezer, store them wrapped individually in plastic wrap when initially storing them in the freezer.
