I posted a picture of these yesterday for Wordless Wednesday but thought I'd follow up with the recipe today. (My friend) Jamie's birthday was last week on the 20th and I wanted to make something special for her. She loves any kind of cake, or sweet, with pumpkin, cinnamon, nutmeg, etc. And I had been reading about how a lot of people were finding recipes through Pinterest. So, I started my search there. Amoung the many that I found, I decided to make Nutella Cheesecake Pumpkin Muffins, originally posted by My Name Is Snickerdoodle.
These "muffins" can be defined in two words: Simply Awesome!
Another plus? The recipe is really quite simple, as follows:
Muffin
4 eggs
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 15 oz can pumpkin puree
3 cups flour
2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp nutmeg
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
Cheesecake Filling
1 8oz cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup Nutella
1 egg
Preheat oven to 375°. In a large bowl, beat eggs slightly. Add in sugar, pumpkin and oil and beat thoroughly. Add in remaining dry ingredients and mix until smooth.
In a small bowl, beat together cream cheese, Nutella and egg until smooth.
Place paper liners in a muffin tin. Place about 2 tablespoons of pumpkin batter into liner, then 1 tablespoon of Nutella batter, then top with 2 more tablespoons of pumpkin batter. Bake for 18-22 minutes. These are best served completely cooled. Makes approximately 24 muffins.
And there you have it, Simply Awesome!
