Really, I promise, even if you don't like pumpkin (like me), you will love these muffins. Every Autumn we start craving these, so I made some to have ready for breakfast with my parents tomorrow.
Here is the recipe for you
Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees.
In a small bowl, mix cream cheese (room temp.) and
3 Tbl. maple syrup or honey
Set aside
In a large bowl, place
1 cup honey or maple syrup (we like honey)
3/4 cup sour cream
1 cup pumpkin
1/2 stick butter - soft
2 eggs
Mix this well
Add:
2 cups flour
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 ts baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt
2 tsp. baking powder
Mix until well blended
Now fold in the cream cheese filling very gently.
Fill greased muffin tins or lined muffin thins 3/4 full.
Mix 1/2 cup nuts with 2 Tbs. brown sugar and sprinkle on top (I double this...just cuz-yummmm).
Bake in pre-heated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until lightly brown on top. We live at a high elevation, so I usually have to bake a little longer.
Now....go enjoy those wonderful muffins with some butter!
These look YUMMY! I'll have to try them.

Mary asked about size of the cream cheese, it is the large one...sorry that I wasn't clear with that...
ReplyDeleteYUMMY. I can almost assure you though that mine will not even come close to turning out as pretty as yours did! Oh well, the kids won't mind. They will be gone in 3.5 seconds flat anyway. ;0)
