Pumpkin Coconut Muffins with Brown Sugar Crumbs

In all my travels through the blogosphere, I have come across many interesting recipes and ideas. One recipe that I found was a pumpkin coconut bisque. I got the ingredients for it, and weeks later, still haven't had made it, I decided to put the two cans of pumpkin and can of coconut milk to use in my own way.

This recipe is definitely something that I made up on my own, seeing as I couldn't find any muffin recipes that included canned pumpkin and coconut milk, but then again I really didn't try that hard. Maybe there are excellent pumpkin coconut milk recipes out there and I just don't know it. Whatever the case may be, this is one of my own recipes that could possibly use some tweaking, but came out deliciously nonetheless.

It's really a good thing that I wrote down this concoction as I went because I definitely would not have been capable of recalling everything that went in these, or the amount.

Ingredients for muffins:
3 eggs
3 egg whites
2 cans pumpkin
1 can coconut milk, unsweetened (the small can that's only like 5/3 cups)
1/4 cup Splenda baking mix
2 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon salt
3 teaspoons baking powder
2 cups all purpose flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
2 cups oats
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon pumpkin spice

Topping:
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup oats
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Directions:
1. Whisk eggs and egg whites, then add pumpkin and coconut milk.
2. Add Splenda, honey and salt.
3. Whisk in flours, powder, cinnamon, pumpkin spice and oats.
4. After making sure to spray your tins, spoon batter into 12 large muffin tins or 24 regular size muffin tins.
5. Mix the topping together using your hands because that's just more fun and who couldn't use more fun in their life? Use your hands to sprinkle as much as you'd like on to each muffin.
6. Bake for 35 minutes in a 350 degree oven, using convection if available.

Before smashing into one of these babies in the morning, I suggest heating it up a little bit, and making sure to get some of the brown sugar topping in each bite. Seriously guys, it makes all the difference.

Keep crazy, babes.
