My friend, Glenda, shared this recipe with me many years ago and it has become a favorite of the masses! I whipped up a batch of the DELICIOUSLY moist muffins that are a cross between pumpkin bread and pumpkin cheesecake -- very moist and perfectly sweet.
A perfect way to welcome the fall season. Enjoy them for breakfast with warm coffee or tea, or have them for a snack or dessert.
You gotta try em.
So, here's what you need:
BATTER:
2 eggs
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup chopped pecans (or walnuts)
1 1/4 cups flour
2 tsp. cinnamon
3/4 oil
1 cup canned pumpkin
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
FILLING:
1 (8 oz.) pkg. cream cheese
1 egg
1/3 cup sugar
STREUSEL TOPPING:
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 tsp. cinnamon
3 T. flour
2 T. butter
Mix together batter ingredients; set aside.
Blend filling ingredients till smooth; set aside.
Combine streusel ingredients; set aside.
Pour pumpkin batter into greased or lined muffin tins. Fill 2/3 full. Spoon heaping tsp. cream mixture in center.
Sprinkle with 1 tsp. streusel topping.
Bake at 350 degrees for about 18-22 minutes (depending on your oven. Insert a toothpick in center and when removed if it's clean, your muffins are done.)). Makes 18 muffins.
Enjoy!
Excuse me while I wipe up the drool...

These sound beyond delicious. Ive been aching to try the pumpkin cream cheese combo.. now I gotta.
ReplyDeleteOh those look good! I pray for our soldiers every night and am so grateful for them. My cousin & nephew are both overseas right now (one Army, one Marines). Thank you to you, your son & the rest of your family for his service. God bless you all ♥
ReplyDeleteDOnna- I hope you do- you won't be sorry!
ReplyDeleteThank you Kath- appreciate those prayers!
Gorgeous. Glad to see you're back again. I miss your posts. It didn't realize you had a son in the military. Do you ever participate in operation baking gals? I'm a part of it and we bake care packages and send them over to soldiers. Sometimes I host a team and am always looking for soldiers to bake for. If you think your son and his buddies might appreciate a package stop by my blog and let me know. I'd be happy to have my team bake for them in the next round.
ReplyDeleteBless you and your son. I understand all too well and will say a prayer.
ReplyDeleteSherri your recipes are the BEST!
Warmly, ~Melissa :)
