instead of making the traditional pumpkin pie {as delicious as it is}, i decided to make something different for t-day dessert... ok, i had no other choice as someone else was already bringing the pie. but needless to say, i'm really glad i had to get creative. so after little debate, i decided to make pumpkin muffins {changed the recipe slightly from the recently posted bouchons to something slightly sweeter} with cream cheese frosting and a little cinnamon/sugar dust. mm mmm mmmm! can't wait to have another one tomorrow :)
recipe
pumpkin muffins
1 1/2 cups pumpkin puree
1 1/4 cups all-purpose GF flour
1 cup almond flour
1/2 cup agave nectar
1/2 cup apple sauce
2 large eggs
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. ginger
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
1/2 tsp. all spice
1/4 tsp. salt
cream cheese frosting
4 oz. cream cheese {i used light cream cheese}
4 tablespoons butter
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 cup powdered sugar
dust
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon
handful of slivered almonds, broken up
- preheat oven to 350 degrees. cut 5" parchment paper squares for muffin pan {or use regular muffin cups}.
- whisk together dry ingredients {flours, baking soda + powder, spices}. blend wet ingredients until combined {eggs, pumpkin, agave, apple sauce}. slowly add dry mixture to wet, blend until thoroughly combined.
- spoon into parchment paper cups, fill nearly to the top.
- bake for 40-45 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean. while the muffins are baking, blend ingredients for frosting in one bowl, and mix dust ingredients in another.
- transfer cups to wire rack, let cool. frost and dust to your liking... enjoy!!
happy thanksgiving eve!!
