Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffins • Sep. 24, 2007
Thursday mornings are muffin breakfasts, usually served with fruit or applesauce. Last week we tried a new one, and we all agreed this recipe is a keeper! Note that we used three different kinds of sweeteners because we are experimenting with both unrefined sugars and sugar alternatives. When you see these in the recipe, you can certainly substitute what we used for white sugar. We won't hold it against you
