PUMPKIN MUFFINS FILLED WITH SPICED MARSHMALLOW CREAM



Pumpkin Muffins Filled With Spiced Marshmallow Cream image

My, oh my! These pumpkin muffins are indeed show stoppers. The muffins are filled with the flavors of fall and pumpkin. They are very moist thanks to the canned pumpkin. That marshmallow cream, though, is irresistible. It's light, airy, and makes these easy to make muffins extra special.

MUFFINS
1 pkg spice cake mix
1/2 c water
1/2 c vegetable oil
4 eggs
1 c canned pumpkin (not pie mix)
1 tsp pumpkin pie spices
1/2 c chopped nuts (I used walnuts)
1/2 c raisins
1/2 c shredded coconut
MARSHMALLOW CREAM
2 tsp hot water
1/4 tsp salt
1 jar(s) marshmallow creme (7 oz)
1/2 c shortening
1/3 c confectioners' sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spices
2 Tbsp canned pumpkin (optional) **see note**

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350F. In a bowl, add your nuts, coconut, and raisins. Cut off the top of cake mix and add 2 Tbsp of cake mix to your ingredients. Stir thoroughly to make sure all ingredients are coated. This will ensure even distribution to your muffins.
  • 2. In your stand up mixer, or using a hand mixer and a bowl, add your cake mix. Add the rest of the ingredients. Mix for 2-3 minutes.
  • 3. Fold in your nut mixture.
  • 4. Spray muffin tins with non-stick cooking spray. Using a 1/4 c measure scoop batter into muffin tins. Bake for 17-19 minutes (mine took 17).
  • 5. Meanwhile, as muffins are baking, you can start on your spiced marshmallow cream. In a small bowl, combine hot water and salt. Nuke for 30 seconds until all salt is dissolved.
  • 6. Using your mixer, beat the marshmallow creme, shortening, confectioners' sugar, and vanilla until light and fluffy. Add the salt mixture and beat for 1 more minute. Using your pastry bag or a plastic bag, insert star pastry tip, add cream, and chill until ready to use.
  • 7. Remove muffins from the oven. Let rest on a cookie rack for 1-2 minutes, then remove from tins and let them cool thoroughly. Using a citrus corer or whatever you prefer. Insert citrus corer into the top of muffins. Make a hole thru the muffin, but ensuring you don't go all the way thru to the bottom.
  • 8. Continue with the rest of the muffins. Fill with marshmallow creme. **Note: if you don't have a pastry bag, a Ziploc bag with the corner snipped works just fine. **
  • 9. Enjoy!! **Note: I have made the marshmallow cream without the canned pumpkin as well. The cream is very good either way. Without the pumpkin, they have a more striking appearance.

1 cup all-purpose flour

½ teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground ginger
½ teaspoon ground cloves
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg

Tips:

  • Choose the right pumpkin: Look for a sugar pumpkin or a pie pumpkin, as they have the best flavor and texture for baking.
  • Roast the pumpkin yourself: Roasting the pumpkin brings out its natural sweetness and flavor. You can roast the pumpkin in the oven or in a microwave.
  • Use fresh spices: Ground spices lose their flavor over time, so use fresh spices for the best flavor.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the muffins tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Fill the muffin cups to the top: This will help the muffins rise evenly and prevent them from being dry.
  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This will ensure that the muffins are cooked through.

Conclusion:

These spiced pumpkin muffins are a delicious and easy-to-make fall treat. They are perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. With their moist texture, sweet pumpkin flavor, and warm spices, these muffins are sure to be a hit with everyone. So next time you have a pumpkin on hand, be sure to try this recipe.
