    When I made this (reeeaaally delicious) Pumpkin Cheesecake the other day, I had pumpkin purée leftover in the fridge waiting to be used. I was not in the mood for pumpkin soup though the weather here in Berlin is screaming for hot soup right now (eating it, covered with a blanket on the sofa and never leaving the sofa again…). What else can you do? Try to make the recipe you’ve done before in a different way – exactly ;) So the result are these Pumpkin Cheesecake Muffins.

    So now I already made two different bakes with pumpkin – I think I get used to it :) And it’s actually really good! The muffins were really tasty and fluffy – something I did not expect from pumpkins…

    DIRECTIONS / ZUBEREITUNG

    • English
    • Deutsch

    1. Start with the streusel. In a bowl mix brown sugar, flour and cinnamon until combined. Add the melted butter and mix with a fork until crumbs form. Set aside.

    2. For the cheesecake filling beat the cream cheese on medium speed in a bowl until creamy. Add the egg yolk, vanilla extract and sugar. Beat until well combined. Set aside.

    3. Preheat the oven to 425˚F (220°C). Line muffin sheets with 12-14 paperliners. Set aside. In a medium bowl add flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and pumpkin pie spice and mix until combined. Set aside.

    4. In a large bowl whisk the brown sugar and eggs together until light and fluffy. Add pumpkin puree, oil, milk and vanilla extract and mix until combined. Add the flour mix and stir until just combined. Do not overmix the batter.

    5. Fill each of the prepared paper liners with one tablespoon of batter. Top with a layer of cheesecake filling (not quite a full tablespoon) and finish with batter until the paper liners are full (all the way to the top). Sprinkle each muffin with the prepared streusel.

    6. Bake for 5 minutes. Leave the muffins in the oven and reduce the temperature to 350°F (175°C) and bake for 15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and let cool down on the muffin sheet for some time and then let cool completely on a wire rack.

    1. Mit den Streuseln anfangen: In einer Schüssel braunen Zucker, Mehl und gemahlenen Zimt vermischen. Geschmolzene Butter zugeben und mit einer Gabel zu Streuseln verarbeiten. Zur Seite stellen.

    2. Für die Käsekuchenfüllung den Frischkäse bei mittlerer Geschwindigkeit aufschlagen bis er cremig ist. Eigelb, Vanille Extrakt und Zucker zugeben und alles gut verrühren. Zur Seite stellen.

    3. Den Ofen auf 220°C (425°F) vorheizen. Muffinblech(e) mit 12-14 Papierförmchen bestücken. Zur Seite stellen. In einer mittelgroßen Schüssel das Mehl, Backpulver, Natron, Salz, Zimt und Kürbiskuchengewürz vermischen. Zur Seite stellen.

    4. In einer großen Schüssel den braunen Zucker mit den Eiern aufschlagen bis alles leicht und luftig ist. Kürbispüree, Öl, Milch und Vanille Extrakt zugeben und alles gut verrühren. Mehlmischung zugeben und nur kurz verrühren. Nicht zu viel rühren!

    5. Die Papierförmchen jeweils mit einem Eßlöffel Teig befüllen. Hierauf kommt eine Schicht Käsekuchenfüllung (nicht ganz ein Eßlöffel) und dann noch einmal eine Schicht Teig, bis die Papierförmchen bis oben hin voll sind. Mit Streuseln bestreuen.

    6. Im Backofen für 5 Minuten backen. Die Muffins im Ofen lassen und die Temperatur auf 175°C (350°) reduzieren und die Muffins für weitere 15 Minuten weiterbacken – mit einem Zahnstocher testen, ob noch Teig kleben bleibt und erst herausnehmen, wenn der Zahnstocher sauber herauskommt. Aus dem Ofen nehmen und erst ein paar Minuten in der Form abkühlen lassen und dann auf einem Kuchengitter komplett auskühlen lassen.

    Hi, my name is Marc. I’m a graphic designer.
    I love my job, but in between I love to bake and try new things in the kitchen. A lot of my friends and colleagues encourage me to bake – for a very simple reason: they get the leftovers – and it seems they like it most of the time. ;)
