Pumpkin Pecan Cream Cheese Muffins
- 2 cups unbleached white flour
- 2 cups wheat flour
- 1 12 cups sugar (I often use half brown and half white)
- 2 tablespoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ginger
- 1 teaspoon allspice
- 1 teaspoon nutmeg
- 14-12 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3 eggs, beaten
- 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree
- 12 cup butter, melted
- 12 cup canola oil
- 12 cup light sour cream
- 1 12 cups pecans, chopped
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 24 pecan halves, for garnish
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Mix dry ingredients in large bowl (you can mix the pecans in here if you wish, or fold them in at the end).
- Mix wet ingredients (except for cream cheese) in a smaller bowl.
- Add wet ingredients to dry and stir gently until just mixed.
- Coat your muffin pan with non-stick cooking spray.
- Using half the batter, divide it among the 12 cups (they will be fairly full).
- Cut your cube of cream cheese into 24 pieces and press one piece into each muffin cup.
- (If you want, you can roll it in your hands to make it a cylinder or ball rather than a square.
- ).
- Top each with a pecan half (or if you have pecan pieces, you can arrange them on top in a cute pattern).
- Bake for 15-20 minutes.
- Remove to wire rack and bake the next batch.
- Try not to eat them all yourself!
