Deliciously moist pumpkin spiced muffins are filled with a maple cream filling. These Maple Cream-Filled Pumpkin Muffins are perfect for your brunch or breakfast party!
Why have I been so busy I haven't had time to go to Fashion Island and shop my life away and devour lunch and 10,000 desserts from Pain Du Monde?! My favorite, I am salivating thinking of it. This week I say, and five weeks later I still haven't gone. I would like to think this is the week but who knows.
I don't know if you can tell but I kind of like pumpkin + maple, it makes me HAPPY. Like really happy and can you tell how moist these muffins are? So moist, and that cream mmm.
Ever since I saw the Vanilla Creme Filled Muffins on Cookies & Cups I knew I wanted to make them, and then this little obsession with pumpkin and maple happened so naturally, I put a spin on them.
Let me just say how badly I love that these are "muffins" so it is perfectly acceptable to eat them any time of the day. Amazing.
I may or may not have licked all the cream out before I devoured the rest of the muffin. Ahh, why are they gone!
