Warm pumpkin muffins

Pumpkin spice crumb muffins to try at home

As we discussed a few of Kellogg’s awesome initiatives, we took a hands-on approach, tied on our aprons, and followed along with the Culinary Loft chefs to create a few different fun recipes for lunch, all of them utilizing Kellogg’s cereals in the ingredient list! No, cereal is not just for breakfast y’all.

Among the foods we made, I completely fell in love with the streusel-topped pumpkin spice muffins. They were the perfect blend of pumpkin and spices with a delicious Kellogg’s Special K cereal and brown sugar crumble top. Check out the recipe for these homemade muffins from scratch below.
