Key ingredients
large eggs, pumpkin puree, maple syrup or honey, any mild oil, pumpkin pie spice.
Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 1 1/4 cups pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
- 3/4 cup maple syrup or honey
- 3 tbsp any mild oil (I used avocado oil)
- 1 tbsp pumpkin pie spice
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 cups whole wheat flour (or spelt flour)
- 12 tsp cream cheese (or more)
- Pumpkin seeds (for garnish (optional))
Method
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F and spray muffin tin with cooking spray. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, add eggs, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, oil, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, baking soda and salt; whisk well to combine. Add flour and gently mix until combined.
- Using an ice cream scoop, distribute batter evenly between 12 openings of a muffin tin. Make a cavity with a back of a spoon, add 1 tsp or more of cream cheese, swirl with a toothpick (or leave it) and sprinkle with pumpkin seeds.
- Bake for 20 minutes. Then remove from the oven, let muffins cool for 5 minutes and transfer to a cooling rack to cool off for another 10 minutes. Enjoy!
