These delicious pumpkin muffins are filled with creamy sweet cream cheese filling. They are just wonderful. They taste great with a hot chai tea or a cup of pumpkin spice coffee. It will make your entire house smell with the wonderful scents of fall and your family will smell this cooking and come running.
 
Mr. Cottage loves to take these pumpkin muffins to take to work with him and share it with his coworkers. They are always happy to see him coming! I have wonderful memories of my mom and grandma making these muffins. It just reminds me of home and family. Our neighbor John Paul loved these. He said his mother used to make pumpkin muffins out on the farm and these reminded him of hers. Mom would always bake a loaf of pumpkin bread or a tray of these muffins for him.

Everyone we have given these to have loved them even more. 

Can I make these Pumpkin Muffins Gluten-Free?

We have never tried but you can use Bob’s Red Mill Gluten Free flour on a 1.1 ratio with the All-Purpose Flour.

Can I Replace The Sugar In These Pumpkin Muffins?

We have never tried to replace the sugar but I would try a product like Swerve and it is a measure for measure natural sugar replacement. So that would be a 1.1 ratio with your sugar.
