Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup white whole wheat flour (King Arthur)
  • 5 oz 1/3 less fat cream cheese
  • 3/4 cups unbleached all purpose flour (King Arthur)
  • 2 tablespoons raw sugar
  • 3/4 cup raw sugar
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

  • 2 tbsp coconut oil
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 350F. Line a muffin tin with paper liners and lightly spray liners with oil for easy removal.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine flours, sugar, baking soda, pumpkin spice, nutmeg, cinnamon, and salt with a wire whisk. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl mix pumpkin puree, oil, egg and vanilla; beat at medium speed until thick. Scrape down sides of the bowl.
  4. Add flour mixture to the wet mixture, then blend at low speed until combined; do not over mix.
  5. In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Slowly beat in the sugar, egg yolk and vanilla extract until combined.
  6. Pour batter into prepared muffin tin. Drop about 1 tablespoon of the cream cheeseto the tops of each muffin. Using a toothpick gently swirl the frosting from the edge to the center into the batter.
  7. Bake on the center rack for 24 to 26 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Let them cool before serving.

Notes

  • If you're on Weight Watchers and want to lower the points, you can swap the sugar for equal amounts of monk fruit sweetener. That will drop the WW Points to 4 WW Points each.
