Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffins
Plan Z Dieter Caitlin found the perfect fall recipe from Carolyn, the writer and recipe developer behind All Day I Dream About Food. The original recipe includes candied pepitas — we didn’t have any of those in our kitchen, but even without them, the recipe was delicious.
This perfect pumpkin treat invites all the spice and warmth of autumn into your mouth without the additional unwanted carbs.
