Celebrate the return of "pumpkin spice season" with our delicious pumpkin Halloween muffins with crushed Oreo cookies topping & vanilla glaze frosting!

Guess what season it is (aside from Halloween, I mean!)? Pumpkin spice season!! To kick it off, we have a recipe for super yummy pumpkin Halloween muffins with crushed Oreo cooking topping! I don’t know about you, but pumpkin season is one of my favorites (along with “chocolate mint everything” season). Funny story, though, I didn’t actually like pumpkin until a few years ago. Now, I could eat all day. In my coffee, tea, bread, pies and, obviously, muffins.
