Pumpkin Pie Muffins

September 19, 2012 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 23 Comments

Hi Everyone,

I’m so sorry, I have become pumpkin obsessed!!  I can’t help it!!  With the chill in the air, the leaves starting to turn color, all I can think about is pumpkin!  I think I need some serious help!!  Every year at this time, I drive my family nuts with my pumpkin craze!!  Last year I did a whole week dedicated to pumpkin, meaning pumpkin pancakes, pumpkin cheesecake, pumpkin butter, pumpkin empanadas and I even snuck pumpkin into our beef stew.  Really Guys, I need some serious help.  I need to get off of this kick and start thinking of other foods, but it’s hard!  Especially since I Have fresh puree and a few cans hidden in my cupboard!!  So you have to bare with me!  Please!  🙂

I found this recipe for Pumpkin Pie Muffins on Pintrest which came from The Baker Chick.  I changed it up a little to make it a little more healthy.  I have to tell you these muffins are amazing!  There a perfect combination of muffin and pie!!  I took them to work and I had rave reviews and the whole dozen disappeared very quickly!  The texture is soft but sturdy as a muffin but when you take a bite of them, its pure pumpkin pie heaven.  I served mine with a small dollop of whip cream sprinkled with cinnamon which made them more pie like!!  I just love these muffins!!


These muffins don’t rise very much and kind of sink in the middle, but don’t let that fool you, it just makes the center more moist and delicious!!!  The whip cream on top is a perfect cover for the slightly sunken middle.  I stored these in the refrigerator since there slightly moist and took them out the next day to serve.  They were perfect!!!

This recipe is pretty easy to make, which makes it all that much better!  To cut back on calories, I decided to use unsweetened coconut milk instead of half and half that original recipe called for.   I get a lot of questions on what kind of coconut milk I use, so I thought I would let you that I use the unsweetened coconut milk in a carton, not a can.  I use Trader Joe’s coconut milk because it’s only 50 calories a cup and it’s creamy.  It is located in the refrigerator section and I have also used the TJ’s unsweetened coconut milk in the aisle.  There is a picture of it on my Trader Joe’s page, it’s in my top 10 favorites.

I highly recommend not using paper muffin cups because the batter will stick, but if you choose to use muffin cups, lightly spray them with cooking spray.  I hate when I make muffins or cupcakes and they stick to the paper, makes me crazy!!!  I don’t need to be any crazier then I am already!  lol

    I was wondering if it was okay to use Trader Joe’s Vanilla Coconut Milk? It’s all I have right now. Should I decrease the sugar? Thanks so much for the recipe. I love anything with pumpkin.

      Hi, I would think vanilla coconut milk would work out nice. I would probably omit the vanilla extract. I don’t think you would need to cut back on the sugar, unless you want to. Start with a quarter cup of granulated Sugar and I hate to say this, but taste test the batter. If its not sweet enough, add two more tablespoons of it. Let me know how it turns out!

    I’m a HUGE pumpkin fan. I’ve been making crustless pumpkin pie for years, but these pumpkin pie muffins are adorable, especially with the dollop of whip cream on top. I’ll be making these very soon!

    I cannot wait to try… however, is it really 11/4 of cup of pumpkin? My assumption is that it is a 1/4 cup? (Fractions, math, OUCH)

      Hi,

      It’s 1 cup plus a 1/4 cup. 🙂 If you do try it let me know what you think!! 🙂

    These sound delicious! Pumpkin pie is one of the best things about Fall! Did you make a measurement error in the amount of can pumpkin (11/4)?

      It’s 1 1/4 cup pumpkin I used. I know I love the fall because of pumpkins, apples and leaves turning!! 🙂

        It’s NOT 1 1/4 cans, just 1 cup plus a 1/4 cup.

Happy Thursday! It’s been a crazy week over at m Happy Thursday! It’s been a crazy week over at my house this week. I started rearranging things around and left messes throughout my house. I start in one spot and it spread throughout. I need to do some major cleanup before the weekend.
💙
One thing I did was change my table in my dining room. I went more neutral until I start to bring the lemons out. I can’t wait for lemon season. I already have a tablescape in mind.
💙
I got the cute Home Sweet Home sign from my friend Brantley from @thesassyoak. It’s in the perfect spot. When you walk into my house you see the table right away. Isn’t the sign so cute? It matches my home so beautifully.
💙
What are your plans for the weekend?

Happy Wednesday!! Half way through the week. Boy I Happy Wednesday!! Half way through the week. Boy I can’t wait for the weekend. I’m looking so forward to finish working in the garden. Well, technically it will never be finished, which I don’t mind. I want to plant a tomato this weekend. Just not sure what kind?
🌿
I refreshed my living room just a tad bit. I took down most of the bunnies, and that is all. I had a lot of them. It made me realize that I forgot my coffee bar. I still have bunnies, chicks and eggs on it. They’ll have to come down this week.
🌿
I have a surprise! Swipe my photo and you’ll see Sampson! He hasn’t made an appearance here in awhile. He said he misses you all!
🌿
Are you planting any vegetables this season?

My Mom got these by saving the stamps you would get from the grocery store with purchase. Each piece of China had a stamp value. So once you collected enough stamps you could pick up another piece of the collection. Needless to say, my Mom collected a lot of stamps and I have the whole set to serve 12 people.☕️

Happy Thursday! I changed up my dining room a lit Happy Thursday! I changed up my dining room  a little bit. I took out my Easter decor and gave it a more neutral look and did some switching around. Plus I added a Samantha Sue, who is laying down in the photo. lol
🍓
One of my favorite pieces that I added was my new @krumpetshomedecor sign. I love the style of the sign with the shiplap white wash look and of course the cute strawberry and daisies that add a pretty pop of color.
🍓
The sign is also reversible. It also says Life is Sweet on the other side without the strawberries and daises. The sign is the Krumpets Home Decor deal of the week.

Hello and happy Wednesday! Thank you for all your Hello and happy Wednesday!  Thank you for all your kind words about the dentist. All he had to do is cement my crown back on. He said your crown has sticky with clear stuff on it. He said I don’t think it’s the old cement?  I told him I ate a white Trader Joe’s jelly bean and I thought I got it all off. He was laughing.
🌿
It’s that time of year for house plant care. While your plants are waking from dormancy, it’s time to feed them, repot them if needed and give a trim if applicable.
🌿
I also water my plants about every 7-10 days, depending on the plant. My coffee plant, fern, violet and my mixed plant container needs watering more. The key to know when to water is check the soil. I use a water meter probe and  you just stick it in the dirt. If it’s dry, I water. If it’s moist or wet, I’ll check again in a few days. You can get a water meter at Lowe’s, your local nursery or Amazon. It’s my number 1 garden tool. We use it on outside plants too.
🌿
I’m also sharing with you my cute little tea towel that I got from @e.h.designco. Her shop is closed right now because she’s moving, but will be open back in June.
🌿
Okay, go check your plants!
🌿
What’s your favorite house plant?

Happy Tuesday! Well today’s the day! I head to Happy Tuesday!  Well today’s the day! I head to the dentist. Wish me luck. I hope they will be able to glue my crown back on. I hate going to the dentist! Ugh!
🌸
Today I am sharing with you my new plates and bowls that I got from @sonemone_official. I just love them. The shade of blue is so pretty and I love the vibrant colors on them.
🌸
The bowls are huge and would make a wonderful soup bowl or salad bowl. The plates would be beautiful served with a charcuterie board. They are microwave and dishwasher safe. They would be so pretty on a summer tablescape.
🌸
Are you ready for summer decorating?

Happy Good Friday! So happy the weekend is here. Happy Good Friday!  So happy the weekend is here. It’s been a glorious week with warm temperatures and sunshine. Next week it’s supposed to cool off dramatically, so I am going to enjoy it while it’s here.
💕
I wanted to get one last Easter tiered tray in before Sunday. Everything you see here is from small shops. I tagged all of them in the photo.
💕
This weekend I’ll be taking a break from IG to work in the yard and to do some decorating so I have some new content to share with you. Though with Easter almost behind us, I’m unsure what I’ll do next? But I do think I’ll stick with the yellows? But we’ll see.
💕
Have the most wonderful weekend and Easter holiday!!
