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)?

    Reply
    • Jennifer @ Peanut Butter and Peppers says

      September 19, 2012 at 4:29 PM

      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.

🌸~🌼~🌸 WELCOME to the FLOWER LOVIN' FRIEN 🌸~🌼~🌸 WELCOME to the FLOWER  LOVIN' FRIENDS DECOR ENGAGEMENT TOUR! 
~M🌼Y your day be filled with happy moments and beautiful flowers! 

I decided to create a zinnia garden this year and I am so excited to see it bloom. A few flowers started to show. I didn’t want Sully 🐶 in the garden, so I put a fence around it.  It worked for about 3 weeks. I was on stories yesterday, showing other parts of the garden and I turned around and saw Sully in my garden. I must have screamed so loud. He was stuck in there and panicking because I was. I got him out and no damage to any of the flowers. That was scary!

Happy Tuesday! This weekend my husband and I went Happy Tuesday! This weekend my husband and I went cherry picking. It was so fun! We got so many cherries. I’m guessing about 9 pounds. I have no clue how two people are going to eat 9 pounds of cherries? But we will try.
🍒
I am so happy we were actually able to pick cherries. We missed out the past couple of years. The season comes up so fast and only lasts a couple of weeks. Plus it gets so busy that the traffic is awful. That’s one thing about California is the traffic is so bad here that it takes the joy out of doing things. But not this year! I got my cherries!! 
🍒
If swipe the photos, you will see the bucket of cherries and a couple cherries on the tree.

What is your favorite cherry recipe?

☀️🌸☀️WELCOME to the FLOWER LOVIN' FRIE ☀️🌸☀️WELCOME to the FLOWER  LOVIN' FRIENDS DECOR TOUR! 
M🌸Y every flower lift your spirits!

I am sharing with you my Everblooming Hydrangea. This is a full sun hydrangea. I planted it last year and it did so crappy. I was shocked to see so many flowers on it. We have had a relatively cool Spring, so it’s been happy. Today it got hot out and I just went out to look at the hydrangea and it’s shriveling. So I need to capture this moment before it poops out this summer.

We are a fabulous group of friends sharing their love of flowers and elements of nature inside and outside our homes throughout the seasons!

Happy Wednesday! We are half way through the week. Happy Wednesday! We are half way through the week. I can’t believe that this weekend is Mothers Day. It just seems early this year. I am not sure what are plans are going to be this weekend?
🌷
I am sharing with you the @krumpetshomedecor deal of the week. It’s a set of two mango wood trays with a beautiful rope handle.
🌷
The bigger tray I used to make a tulip arrangement. It’s such a great size. The last photo is also how I used the tray on my bed. The smaller tray is perfect for holding my olive oils in my kitchen. These trays will fit in about  any space. I just love them.
🌷

Happy Tuesday! Boy allergy season has hit me hard. Happy Tuesday! Boy allergy season has hit me hard. I have been sneezing like crazy and then my nose runs. Ugh! I never have allergies. It must be all the crazy weather. We’ve had high winds since last Tuesday and temps in the 70’s. Tomorrow mid 90’s, then back to the 70’s. No wonders my allergies are acting up.
🌸
I’ve been adding a little decor to my patio area. I love adding pillows and blankets for pops of color and to give a cozy feel. One of my newest additions is my new Verdure Wooden Candle Lantern that I got from @icosiest_furniture. It adds a romantic ambience in the evening.
🌸
The lantern is made from Fir wood and has a beautiful jute handle. The lantern can be hung or placed on a table. The candle is battery operated and looks so beautiful flickering in the evening. Swipe the photo to see it.
🌸
I love the style of the lantern and it would also look fabulous styled indoors. I can see the lantern on a shelf, centerpiece or on a console table. 
🌸
For a closeup of the lantern, check out my highlight. COSIEST was kind enough to give my followers a 15% off anything in there store: Jennifer15. The link is in my bio.

Do you have allergies? If so, are they bad for you this year?

Happy Monday! Hope you had a nice weekend. We had Happy Monday! Hope you had a nice weekend. We had such beautiful weather. It was in the 70’s and sunny. I did a lot of work outside. Got some plants planted and rearranged my patio because I was #gifted a new dining set from @alphamartsus 
🌷
I am so excited to have an outdoor dining set. It’s going to be so fun to eat dinner outside, in front of my zinnia garden and water fountain. I’m so excited, you have no idea. 
🌷
The dining set is the PHI VILLA Rattan Dining Chairs Set with Extendable Table Patio Dining Set. The set I have is the 9 piece, but they also have a 7 piece set. You have your choice of chairs, cushioned or high back. I like the high back. The chair gives great support and is so comfortable to sit on.
🌷
The table is made of high quality metal with a special powder coating that will with stand the outside elements. The table is 60” long but can be extended to 83”. It’s so easy to extend the table. The leaf is built in and just flips to make the table longer or shorter. Swipe to see the leaf and how long the table is extended. The first few pictures, the table is extended to 60”. 
🌷
For more information on the dining set, check out my highlight. The link for Alpha Mart is in my bio.
🌷
Do you like to entertain outside?
