Recipe: ‘Good Morning Pumpkin’ Muffins

pumpkin muffinsI love a good muffin.  Life as a busy mama to three kiddos doesn’t always allow time to sit down for a leisurely breakfast.  Muffins are a great way to grab breakfast on the go.  With a cup of coffee, milk, or juice, it gives me just enough energy to get through my hectic mornings without feeling starved.

This pumpkin version came together from a recipe I make often.  I found myself without bananas and was able to substitute pumpkin puree with super yummy results.  These were a hit at my daughter’s Girl Scout meeting.

‘Good Morning Pumpkin’ Muffins

Slightly adapted from Wake Up Muffins

Ingredients

  • 1  cup chopped walnuts or pecans
  • 3  tablespoons sugar
  • 2  teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1  8-ounce package cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2  cup butter, softened
  • 1 1/4  cups sugar
  • 2  eggs
  • 1  cup pumpkin puree, canned or fresh
  • 1  teaspoon vanilla
  • 2  1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2  teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2  teaspoon baking soda
  • 1  cup semisweet chocolate chips or pieces

Directions

  1. Line 24 regular muffin cups with paper cups. In a small bowl, combine chopped nuts, the 3 tablespoons sugar and cinnamon; set aside.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, beat together the cream cheese, butter and 1 1/4 cups sugar with an electric mixer until well combined.
  3. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in the bananas, coffee powder, and vanilla.
  4. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and baking soda.  Gradually beat the flour mixture into the cream cheese mixture on low speed until combined. Stir in the chocolate pieces.
  5. Stir in half of the nut mixture into the batter.  Spoon batter into muffin cups, filling about two-thirds full. I measured out 1/4 cup per cup. Made exactly 24. Sprinkle with remaining pecan mixture. I used about 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of topping for each muffin.
  6. Bake in a 375 degree oven for 20-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the centers comes out clean. Cool 15 minutes in pan on a wire rack. Remove muffins from pan and serve warm.
