I have had a tin of pumpkin puree for a while now, I was getting excited after seeing all the pumpkin recipes available, this made it really confusing for me and I get confused easily!!!. I haven’t really cooked much pumpkin stuff, I remember I made pumpkin pie once and I didn’t think much of it, it lacked flavour and sweetness, it was a bit of a disaster :(. I was willing to try again and it’s all the rage in America but not as much here, although I think there is a craze for it now. I also love using spice in my recipes and knowing I could spice this up is perfect.<\/p>\n

I finally decided on making two things, the muffins and pumpkin scones, there was enough to make both items.<\/p>\n

The original photo of these were so mouthwatering, I was amazed, obviously my photos don’t do it any justice. I did think there was no need for the cream cheese inside, I felt it lacked flavour. I think that if you do want to add the cream cheese maybe mix it with some  sugar and vanilla extract to give it that flavour it needs. I will not add it next time I make it though. Apart from that the muffins were moist.<\/p>\n
