Are streusel and crumble topping the same?

Yes, both are made of butter, sugar, and flour. Streusel usually has finer crumbs, while crumble may include oats or nuts.

Do you add streusel before or after baking?

Always add it before baking, so it crisps up with the muffins.

What is the secret to making moist muffins?

Room temperature wet ingredients, pumpkin puree, and buttermilk together guarantee moisture.

When to add streusel to pumpkin pie?

Add it during the last 20–25 minutes of baking so it doesn’t sink into the pie filling
