Made these today. Did a half batch and got exactly 6 muffins. This is a savory muffin, but there is a good amount of sugar in it as well. I was totally skeptical about the combination of pumpkin and cheddar, but it actually worked much better together than I thought. I used a white cheddar. The flavors of the pumpkin with the cheddar were very mild. It actually pairs really well with a bowl of soup. We had tomato soup, but I bet it would be great with a butternut squash soup.
I used muffin liners (even though the recipe says to just bake them in the tin). I even sprayed my muffin liners with non stick spray, but still had difficultly removing the muffin from the liner. And I completely agree with the author, that these are best served warm. I reheated ours in the 200 degree oven as suggested in the book. Now I have a ton of pumpkin puree to use up!
I made pumpkin ice cream (2 batches, because 1 was a total bomb) and I still have left over pumpkin. Think pumpkin bread is on the roster for this weekend!

In my opinion, you can never have too much pumpkin :)

ReplyDeleteI just made pumpkin lasagna! So glad it's pumpkin season again. :)
ReplyDeleteWe had these for dinner tonight. I was very skeptical about the combination of pumpkin and cheddar cheese. They were delicious!!
ReplyDeleteI didn't use muffin liners and they came out of the pans after 10 minutes. I ran a knife around the edges before removing them.
Mine didn't rise much at all, so I would suggest filling them to the top of the pan.
Great choice, Billie!
Oooo! These ARE good! :)
