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 Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is that I love Target. It’s my happy place. I get so excited each season to see all the new things that come out. 
🌿
One thing I always love is there faux vase/pot flowers and plants. They are always so pretty and I want to buy them all. But there a couple of things that stops me. The biggest one is that I have no storage for them. Two, they seemed to have gone up in price. They seemed a little pricy to me. 
🌿
For my arrangement, I used one of my canisters for the bathroom. I used floral foam to stick the stems in and I used the paper towel as a filler because I only had very little bit of moss. If I had more moss and I would probably not use the paper towel. This arrangement cost me $5.99. 
🌿
Tip: If you look at Targets faux foliage stems only, they have a lot that are same of what use in there vases. The one I used was Hearth and Hand and was only $5.99 for a stem. The exact ones they used in there pots.
🌿
Hope you enjoy this as much as I have making it. 
Enjoy your day!

Happy Thursday! As you may know I did my deep clea Happy Thursday! As you may know I did my deep cleaning in my kitchen on Monday. I washed the floors, cabinets, counters and decluttered the countertops. It feels so good and everything is so bright and clean. Well….
💖
My husband decided to take vacation days this week, and my kitchen does not look so pretty. He has his 💩 everywhere. So annoying. 
💖
Here’s a little bit of the styling that I did. I will work on the coffee bar this weekend, though I’m running a blank on how to style it. I need some inspiration.

What do you do to get inspiration?

I’m sharing heart shaped cinnamon rolls that I made this weekend. I got the idea to make them from my friend Heidi @eleanorrosehome. She made the most delicious looking cinnamon rolls, that I couldn’t resist to make. So perfect for Valentines Day and sooooo easy! 
❤️
I took a can of Trader Joe’s cinnamon rolls and unraveled them, if that makes sense, and rolled them up like a palmier cookie. So fun! You could add food coloring to the frosting to make it pink and add sprinkles. Super cute! You can follow step by step recipe on Heidi’s Instagram page! 
❤️
Thank you Heidi for sharing the recipe. This was so fun!
❤️
Would you rather get chocolate or flowers for Valentines Day?

I’m sharing with you my corner of my living room. I love how open this space looks. I added greenery to give it a fresh look. I also stuck with mostly natural colors with an exception of some blues to bring my whole living room together. 
🌿
Tomorrow I am going to start to share Valentines Day. My dining room is filling up with hearts. It’s so fun. I can’t wait to start sharing. Hope you have a beautiful day!
