Pumpkin Muffins with Cream Cheese Swirl

Wednesday, October 22, 2014 17:41

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

I’ve been spending time going through the blog archives and decided it’s time to freshen some of the older posts — sort of dust them off, give them a makeover and a chance to shine again. One of the most popular posts on the site happens to be these pumpkin muffins with cream cheese swirl – there’s something about pumpkin that make people go crazy this time of year. It’s like a pumpkin explosion on Instagram, Pinterest and my subscription reader right now. So much pumpkin so little time!

So, what better way to celebrate the pumpkin season than with an updated recipe of one of my old favorites? The original was pretty good, but this time around I adjusted some of the original measurements (probably don’t need 4 eggs) and added some additional spices perfect for the season – nutmeg, all spice and some cinnamon. I didn’t mess with the cream cheese part — each muffin has a generous swirl of the creamy good stuff.
