last night i made pumpkin muffins with crumble topping (scroll down to the bottom of the post - above the comments), and people: i know i say this a lot, but if you haven't had these muffins YOU HAVE NOT YET LIVED. i was talking to the muffin as i ate it. literally. the conversation went something like this:
bite one: "oh. my. god."
bite two: "this is so gooooooooood."
bite three: "i am an incredible cheffffff."*
bite four: "i need another one NOW."
but i couldn't have another one! now OR in the near future. today is the day i reward my students who have won the current events competitions we have been having all semester in my AP government classes. i reward them with food because they enjoy that. i made a couple different treats, including these muffins. there are 6 students on a team x 3 classes = 18 muffins needed, and i only made 19. the recipe says it makes 12, but that is a LIE. it makes 19 perfectly. well, it probably makes 18 perfectly, but i wanted to try one. duh.
yes, this is a fall-like recipe (perfect for thanksgiving), but it is still delish in may. things i did differently than the recipe: butter instead of shortening, cinnamon instead of "pumpkin pie spice" (as i have no such thing), real flour instead of gluten-free (duh), i only used about 2/3 of the topping mixture i made, and no powdered sugar sprinkled on top (i dislike that in general).
i'll DEFINITELY be making these again soon...
*by "incredible chef," i mean "incredibly good at following a recipe and not burning things."
