Pumpkin Muffins with Chocolate Peanut Butter Glaze Recipe.

November 20, 2013 Mallorie Owens
Pumpkin Muffins with Chocolate Peanut Butter Glaze Recipe | Mallorie Owens

For today's festive recipe, I decided to merge two of my very favorite desserts to make one delicious alternative to pumpkin pie. I took my Whole Wheat Pumpkin Mini Muffins and had the stroke of genius to try them with the chocolate peanut butter glaze from my Skinny Vegan Chocolate Cake on top. And as I'm sure you can imagine, they are divine. ;)

Muffin Ingredients ≫≫
3 cups whole wheat flour
1 Tbsp and 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
2 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 tsp sea salt
1 cup organic sugar
1 can Libby's pure pumpkin
3 eggs (we use free range organic, you can replace these with 3 bananas for vegan muffins)
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/2 cup water

Glaze Ingredients ≫≫
1 cup raw sugar
4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
4 tablespoons almond milk
5 tablespoons creamy natural peanut butter (store bought or homemade)
4 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
4 teaspoons real vanilla extract

Directions ≫≫

Preheat oven to 350.

Combine the whole wheat flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda, and seasalt in a large mixing bowl. In another large bowl, combine the brownsugar, pumpkin, eggs, oil, and water until blended. Add the two mixturestogether and mix well until everything is moist.

Spoon batter into very well greased mini muffin tin (these suckers have a tendency to stick), if you don't have more thanone tin (like me) this will take about 3 or more batches. Bake for 15 minutes.  Let the muffins cool before trying to remove them from the pan.

For the glaze, just combine all of the ingredients in a smaller bowl until the sugar is dissolved while muffins are cooking.

This recipe makes about 40 mini muffins, plenty to bring to Thanksgiving dinner! Enjoy!

If you've seen my stories lately, you know I’ve been getting IPL Facial treatments to help with my hyperpigmentation (results so far are saved in my profile). I really wanted to add something into my routine that fights my dark spots on a daily basis and have tried products with Vitamin C before that seemed to have no effect on the brightness of my skin or sun spots. This one from @heladerm is a winner! Plus it's all natural and 76% organic with no added fragrances, which I'm realizing lately that is so hard to find. Full review is on my blog (link in bio).
Happy Valentine’s Day! ❤️ Anyone have fun plans? We started the day with heart shaped pancakes and then took Iris to pick out a big balloon. Tonight Dave is making Ahi Tuna, the perfect simple day with my favs. ✨
All I wanted for my 33rd birthday was donuts from @thedonutfriar and time with my little fam. Today was the perfect quick adventure to Gatlinburg. ☺️✨ If you’re ever in the area, these donuts are amazing and the sprinkle donut is the best I’ve ever had. It’s a cake donut instead of the typical glazed I’m used to with sprinkle donuts and it was sooooo good. 😋 TIP: bring cash! That’s all they accept. Iris picked out the smiley face donut for her first ever donut shop trip! She got a few bites on the way home and definitely approved. 😜
This is how we feel about traveling as a family! 🎉♥️ I ordered all of this fun Disney travel stuff (including the "frozen girlies" outfit) from @burlingtonstyle for Iris to make our flights home from Kansas extra exciting at the beginning of last month. She looked too big rolling her own little suitcase! Burlington has so many great options from newborn to toddler and they are all at a great price point. I think our favorite pick is the Moana backpack, it is such a softest leather and the carrying handle is Maui's Hook. We take it to restaurants, as her carry on, in the car...pretty much everywhere now and stuff it full of colored pencils, paper, stickers, etc. 👍🏼 #ad #BurlingtonBaby #BurlingtonStyle
So happy it’s February so we can brighten up these winter days with birthday celebrations (so many this month for us) and Valentine’s Day! ❤️✨ Thinking I might request a trip back to this fun spot for doughnuts at @thedonutfriar for my bday in a few days. 😍🍩 What’s your favorite celebratory treat?
I’m now on my second bottle of this @junejacobsspa Raspberry Recovery Serum and I love it so much! 😍✨ It's paraben and preservative free and helps get rid of inflammation and redness, two things I definitely struggle with...anyone else? This serum is one of the few skin care items I have (and I own and have tried SO many) that makes my skin feel tighter (in a good way!) as soon as I put it on. 👏🏼 Also, please note this pic was taken when my first bottle arrived in October and I still had bats that Iris made hanging from my ceiling. 😜 #sponsored #skincareroutine #junejacobs #naturalskincare
