Pumpkin Cheddar Muffins
Baked Explorations by Matt Lewis and Renato Poliafito, p. 25
- 1 cup canned solid-pack pumpkin puree
- 3 tablespoons sour cream
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1 1/2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
- 1 1/4 cups (about 4 ounces) grated sharp cheddar
- 2 tablespoons pumpkin seeds, optional
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly spray each cup of a standard 12-cup muffin pan with a little bit of vegetable spray and use a paper towel to spread the oil evenly along the bottom and up the sides of each cup.
In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin and sour cream. Add the eggs and butter and whisk until combined.
In another large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cayenne pepper, salt, black pepper and brown sugar. Make a well in the middle of the dry ingredients. Pour the wet ingredients into the well, and fold until just combined. Fold in three-quarters of the cheese.
Divide the batter among the muffin cups. Sprinkle the remaining cheddar and the pumpkin seeds on top of the muffins. Bake them for 20 minutes, or until golden brown. Let the muffin pan cool on a rack for 10 minutes before turning out the muffins. Serve them warm.
Muffins taste best when eaten fresh, but they can be made ahead of time and reheated in a 200-degree oven.

This is my first time doing Baked Sunday mornings but I’m excited! I realized I like sweet muffins more than savory when I made these, but they were a HUGE hit at the office: http://baking.we-wish.net/2011/10/pumpkin-white-cheddar-muffins/

These were amazingly good. I know they’re supposed to be a savory breakfast muffin, but we ate them with chili and they were perfect. I love that Baked always surprises me. http://www.porkcracklins.net/2011/11/pumpkin-cheddar-muffins/

I need to bake these again today…for Sunday dinner. Made them last night and all were eaten as soon as they came out of the oven…before they cooled.

I am up… I liked these way more than I thought I would though I am not ready to serve them as a “breakfast” item.
