Can I skip the crumb topping?

Of course! You can always leave the muffin tops plain, dust them with a little powdered sugar or maybe a quick icing. 

Can I use pumpkin pie filling mix?

Nope!  There is a very big difference between pumpkin pie filling mix and pure pumpkin.  Costco uses a specific kind of pumpkin in their pies and I heard a rumor it is the same pumpkin they use in the Libbys brand pure pumpkin so that is what I use.  

Can I freeze these?

Of course!  Make sure you wrap this tightly or in a freezer-safe container and I would freeze it up to 2 months ahead of time then just thaw it and serve!

Gather your ingredients.

Mix up your batter.

Place in muffin tin.

Make crumble topping.

Top and bake.

Sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve!
