What you’ll need to make pumpkin muffins with cream cheese frosting
Next, combine the dry ingredients in one bowl, and the wet ingredients in another.
Then, add the dry and wet ingredients together.
Spray a muffin pan. If you are using muffin liners, spray those too!
Pour the batter (by the 1/4 cupful) into each opening of the muffin pan. Sprinkle each muffin with a bit of sugar.
Bake for 20-22 minutes.
You can enjoy these muffins as is, or you can make the cream cheese frosting. I will show you that next!
How to make the cream cheese frosting
All you need to do to make the frosting is simply whisk the ingredients together in a small bowl. It will take a little time and elbow grease to break down the cream cheese.
Once that’s done, add the frosting to a small plastic bag and snip the end off. This will create a homemade piping bag.
Pipe the frosting on each muffin. You can also use a knife to smooth it.
And that’s it!

These are now a staple in my house! I make 12 ans freeze half because they get moldy sitting out otherwise before I can finish them. I actually immensely prefer them without the frosting. I have them with a cup of coffee and nutpods after breakfast. So so so good and tons of volume for the calories!
Pumpkin muffins!! I had searched through many ideas for pumpkin muffins and this was my favorite! I made them without the frosting because they were perfect as is!
Made these & added 0 points worth of mini chocolate chips to the top instead of frosting because I love pumpkin & chocolate. So good!! These are nice & big too!
These are delicious. I make a double batch, throw them in the freezer and reheat for 30 seconds when I want one….taste like they just came out of the oven!
I made these and let me tell you, the girls at work devoured them before I even got one! Ivfe hooked a couple girls on Stephs recipes, because lets be honest i havent found a bad one yet
