I've been a fall pinning nut lately on Pinterest. From decor, photography, clothes and food. Definitely love this time of year. I knew I wanted to make pumpkin muffins for Vivy and I to nibble on for the next several days. Tired of giving her the same ole snacks and figured I make something a little nutritious and delicious at the same time.
We made our way to Whole Foods to pick up a few ingredients I was missing in my pantry yesterday. While we were there, my child decided to knock down a corner display of crackers. Yep. She removed the plastic clear shelf and they came tumbling down. Awesome! I put it back together as best as I could while praying no one would see us. Wish I had my phone on me so I could have taken a picture. I hate grocery shopping with her. She hates riding in the cart and insists on walking and pulling things off the shelves. Hope she outgrows this phase quickly!!
This morning we woke up to rainy, chilly, gloomy day. What a great time to make our muffins for our morning snack!
Whole Wheat Pumpkin-Spice Muffins via here
MUFFINS:
1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 Tablespoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup salted butter, melted
1/2 cup granulated white sugar
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup milk
1/4 cup heavy cream
1 cup pumpkin puree (unsweetened)
GLAZE:
1 cup powdered sugar
1/4 cup (2 ounces) softened cream cheese
dash of ground cinnamon
dash of milk (to thin out)
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray muffin tin with nonstick spray- be sure to spray the top of the pan too since the muffins will bake over the side of each tin.
2. Prepare the muffins: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, pumpkin pie spice and cinnamon. In another larger bowl, use electric mixer to cream butter and sugar together. Mix in eggs and vanilla. Alternate adding dry ingredients and milk/cream. Add pumpkin puree last and mix just until incorporated (don't over mix).
3. Divide batter between 12 muffin tins. They'll be quite full with batter- that's okay. Bake 25 to 30 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in center of muffin comes out clean. Let cool in the muffin tin for about 15 minutes, then gently move muffins to a wire rack to cool completely.
4. Prepare the glaze: In a small bowl, mix glaze ingredients. Drizzle glaze over muffins.
These muffins are so good! I scarffed down two :) I didn't add the glaze to Vivian's because I didn't want her to have the extra sugar. But me, I went for extra glaze :)
