Pumpkin Muffins with Maple Cinnamon Cream

Breakfast, Sweets & Snacks

When one of my self-assigned taste-testers suggested I make something “pumpkiny” for Thanksgiving, I got about making these little babies.
Thanksgiving has been and gone, but these are just too damn delicious not to be enjoyed for the whole 365 days of the year.

Method

Preheat oven to 180 degrees Celsius.
Line a 12 cup muffin tray with paper cases.
Mix together all dry ingredients in a large bowl.
Mix all wet ingredients into the dry and combine well. The batter will be quite thick.
Spoon evenly into the 12 cases. You can smooth the tops over a little with a spoon.
Bake for 30 minutes.

Mix the cream ingredients together.
Put a spoonful on top of each muffin when they are cooled and pop a pecan on top.
Eat and enjoy!
