Pumpkins are not just for carving. Once September hit I feel like I can pull out the cans of Pumpkin and get baking pumpkin recipes. I love making quick bread muffins because just that, they are quick. You can cook any quick bread recipe in 20 minutes if you put them in muffin tins, plus I feel I get more servings this way. I am going to share a new pumpkin muffin recipe as well as many great recipes from fellow bloggers.
I found this Pumpkin Pie Streusel muffin recipe in the October Southern Living Magazine and decided to adapt it a little. It reminds me of Pumpkin Pie since it is a very dense batter and the streusel topping with sugary nuts really puts it over the top.

Ingredients

- 3/4 cup butter, softened
- 1 8-oz. package cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 3 cups all-purpose flour or 1/2 whole wheat / 1/2 AP flour
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon table salt
- 1 1/2 cups canned pumpkin
- 1/2 cup toasted chopped pecans, Optional
- 1/2 cup sweetened dried cranberries, optional

- STREUSEL Topping
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans
- 1/2 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon butter, melted
- 1/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°. Beat butter and cream cheese at medium speed with a heavy-duty electric stand mixer until creamy. Gradually add sugars, beating until light and fluffy. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating just until blended after each addition.
- 2. Stir together flour and next 4 ingredients; gradually add to butter mixture, beating at low speed. Stir in pumpkin and next 3 ingredients.
- 3. Spoon batter into 2 lightly greased (12-cup) muffin pans, filling two-thirds full. Sprinkle with Pumpkin Pie Streusel.
- 4. Bake at 350° for 25 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pans on wire racks 5 minutes; remove from pans to wire racks, and cool 20 minutes.
Notes
for my child who does not like nuts, I just topped each muffin with some Turbinado Sugar
