Do you have a million and two recipes bookmarked? Me too. I hoard them like I'm stocking up for some sort of recipe apocalypse. I even have bookmarked recipes that I stashed away three years ago but still haven't tried them! Not this one though - I saw this one the day before yesterday and there was no holding me back!

You can't quite see that there's streusel topping mixed in there in the middle, except for the pecans, because it's camouflaged between the top and bottom layers of beautiful golden muffin. Of course I made coffee muffins instead of one big coffee cake because that's just what I do. I halved the recipe and ended up with eight muffins that baked for about 25 minutes, so if you want to make a full recipe and make muffins instead of one cake it will yield sixteen muffins. Math skills - I has them. Thanks for sharing the recipe, Maggie!
Now let's wrap it up with some more little goldfinches from our backyard. How many blurry little fincheroos can you spot?

Can't beat a good streusel topping! When I saw Maggie's Pumpkin Streusel Coffee Cake a couple of days ago I knew I had to have it. There was no bookmarking that one for later. It was like when you're watching an infomercial in the middle of the night because you can't sleep, and you just KNOW that you have to have that automatic letter opener for only $19.99 plus shipping and handling so you pick up the phone and buy it without giving it a second thought. I had to have this coffee cake! The only difference is that unlike those silly infomercial products, Maggie's cake is actually awesome! It has the perfect amount of pumpkin without being too squashy, and the perfectly balanced spices add a delicious hint of fall to the wonderfully moist cake. The cinnamon-pecan streusel goes on the top AND it's also sandwiched between two layers of batter. What?! Gimme!

(A quick message for my awesome email subscribers: I installed a new Pinterest widget at the bottom of this post. Last time I tried to add the "Pin it" button to my blog it caused trouble for some of you, so I'm hoping that this new widget will behave itself. Please do let me know if the widget angers your computer at all and I will remove it in a flash! Thanks!)
