MMM! Pumpkin Streusel Muffins Drizzled with White Chocolate! Imagine a chilly, blustery fall morning, with the autumn-colored red, orange and yellow leaves falling from the trees. You are inside sipping your coffee (or your favorite Starbucks expresso, latte, you fill in the type of coffee), wrapped in your bulky sweater, the aroma of cinnamon and pumpkin wafting in the air, and then the pumpkin streusel muffins come out of the oven and you slowly drizzle melted white chocolate over the tops of the muffins and it drips, drips, drips down the sides onto the plate. You slowly take a bite of the warm muffin, crumbly streusel, and melted chocolate; and……aahhhh, Heaven!
Are you hungry now?
I have to only imagine a chilly, blustery morning with autumn colored leaves because basically we do not have much of a fall here in Southeast Texas. We jump from Summer to a mild winter. No fall color here.
However, I can pretend it is fall by making these scrumptious Pumpkin Streusel Muffins Drizzled with White Chocolate. Oh, you will thank me for these. Trust me! Go ahead, make them, eat them, and share them (if there are any leftover). Enjoy!

I LOVE streusel toppings and these look delicious. I’m not a big fan of white chocolate but might be able to handle it with something this delicious.
Occasional Cooker says
These are delicious even without the melted white chocolate. Give them a try.
