Pumpkin Muffins with Cream Cheese Icing


Ok, so I didn't make the muffins or icing from scratch but I did come up with a great way to create pumpkin-flavored cream cheese icing and it was a hit!

Ingredients:
Trader Joe's Pumpkin bread & muffin mix
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 cup water
2 eggs

Pumpkin Cream Cheese Icing:
1 container Pillsbury Cream Cheese icing
4 tbsp. pumpkin butter (from Trader Joe's)


What To Do:
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees and grease muffin pan.
2. In a medium bowl, beat eggs and then add in water, vegetable oil and muffin mix. Mix well.
3. Pour batter into muffin pan filling each to about 2/3 full.
4. Bake 18 minutes and remove from oven to cool.


5. To prepare icing, mix together cream cheese icing with pumpkin butter. Wait until the muffins have cooled and then spoon about 1 tbsp of icing on top of each muffin.


Enjoy!

    OMG!! I made some pumpkin muffins from a pumpkin bar and I didn't like how sweet the cream cheese frosting was so what a great idea to add a little pumpkin to it.
