Pumpkin Muffins with Cream Cheese Frosting

Pumpkin Muffins

What you will need:
2 cup flour
1 1/3 cup sugar
4 tsp Baking powder
4 Tbsp milk
1/2 margarine
2 eggs
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup pumpkin
1/2 tsp cinnamon

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and spray or line the muffins tins with liners. Cream margarine and sugars until fluffy.  Beat in the eggs. In a small bowl mix the pumpkin and milk.  Add half the pumpkin mixture to the eggs, sugar, and butter.  Mix well; add one cup of flour, 2 tsp of baking powder, salt and cinnamon.  Mix well; add the rest of the pumpkin mixture.  Mix well; add the remaining one cup of flour and 2 tsp of baking powder.  Mix well then pour the batter into muffin tins.  Bake for 20-25 minutes.

Cream Cheese Frosting

What you will need:
One block of cream cheese, 5 Tbsp butter (unsalted), 1 Tbsp sour cream, vanilla 1-2tsp, powdered sugar

Let the butter and cream cheese sit at room temperature until soft. Beat them together with the sour cream and vanilla.  Add one cup of powdered sugar and mix well.  Keep adding powdered sugar until it reaches the consistency you like.  I think I did 2 1/2 cups today.

I piped the frosting onto the muffins by putting the frosting in a Ziploc bag and cutting the corner of the bag.  This makes it real easy to squirt the frosting on in a spiral.  You can of course, use a knife to frost them.  I also sprinkled them with nutmeg to make them look pretty!
