This week I decided to make some pumpkin muffins for The Littlest Apple.\u00c2\u00a0 I planned on using an old favorite recipe<\/a>, but then this recipe<\/a> popped up in my Google Reader just a few days ago.\u00c2\u00a0 These muffins contain whole wheat flour, which I had on hand from the Homemade Whole Wheat Sandwich Bread<\/a>.\u00c2\u00a0 They aren’t too sweet or overly moist like some of the pumpkin muffins I’ve baked in the past.\u00c2\u00a0 In addition there is an optional glaze for these.\u00c2\u00a0 I’ll never turn down a good glaze!\u00c2\u00a0 The original recipe called for a cinnamon cream cheese glaze.\u00c2\u00a0 Yum!\u00c2\u00a0 I had to settle for a simple cinnamon glaze since I didn’t have any cream cheese on hand.\u00c2\u00a0 Obviously, the glaze sweetens them up quite a bit, but you can also leave some plain, as I did for The Littlest Apple.<\/p>\n

So, how did these pumpkin muffins go over with The Littlest Apple?\u00c2\u00a0 I’ll just let the photos speak for themselves….<\/p>\n

Look at that!\u00c2\u00a0 He’s TRYING IT!!!<\/p>\n

\"Whole<\/p>\n

Not spitting it out….this is good…..<\/p>\n

\"Whole<\/p>\n

SUCCESS!!\u00c2\u00a0 It wasn’t completely miraculous, but he had more than a few licks of the batter, and took a few (3, to be exact…you can see he’s got some of it in his teeth) bites of his muffin before crumbling it to smithereens.\u00c2\u00a0 I failed to capture that particular mess on camera, so you’ll just have to imagine it.\u00c2\u00a0 I’m taking joys in the small victories, like 3 bites of a new food.<\/p>\n

I think next time, I’ll add the cardamom and pecan elements from the Pumpkin Pecan Muffins<\/a> to the delicious whole wheat flour and cinnamon cream cheese glaze of this recipe, to create The Perfect Pumpkin Muffin.<\/p>\n
