Pumpkin Bran Cream Cheese Muffins
These pumpkin muffins are wonderfully moist, thanks to the pumpkin and a sweetened cream cheese topping. And the addition of bran in the batter makes these pumpkin cream cheese muffins healthy, too. Serve these pumpkin muffins for breakfast, brunch, an afternoon snack or a healthy dessert.
Ingredients:
- 3 oz. softened cream cheese (low fat is okay)
- 1 egg, beaten
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar, divided
- 1-1/2 cups all-bran cereal
- 1 cup milk (skim is okay)
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 2 Tbsp. brown sugar
- 1 cup unsweetened pumpkin
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1-1/2 tsp. baking soda
- 1 tsp. baking powder
- 1 tsp. cinnamon
Preparation:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line a muffin tin with paper cups or spray with cooking spray.
- In a small bowl, beat cream cheese, egg and 1/4 cup of the granulated sugar together. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, stir all-bran cereal and milk together. Let stand 5 minutes.
- Add vegetable oil, egg, 1/2 cup of the granulated sugar and the brown sugar to the bran mixture.
- Add the pumpkin and sour cream, and stir until well-blended.
- Dump the flour into the middle of the batter, but don't mix yet.
- Add the baking soda, baking powder and cinnamon on top of the flour.
- Now mix until combined, but do not overmix. (See Tips for Baking Muffins for more details on making great muffins.
- Spoon muffin batter into prepared tins, filling three-quarters of the way.
- Top with one tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture.
- Bake 20-22 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center of muffins comes out clean.
- Let cool in muffin tins for 15 minutes. (These pumpkin muffins will be too moist to eat if you don't allow proper cooling time.)
