If you are a pumpkinphile like myself, a trip to your local Trader Joe’s this time of year, is as excitable as Celine Dion’s (NSFW) persona. Aisles are lined with all things pumpkin: beer, cereal, oatmeal, trail mix, chips, pastries, bread and frozen pumpkin waffles. Yes, I am a pumpkin lover and T.J.’s in Autumn is my temple of edible inspiration.
Pumpkin pie has been a loyal Thanksgiving dessert and I have no intention of discontinuing our relationship anytime soon. However, I may be ready to date around a bit, see what else is out there. It’s just temporary Mr. pie, put down your whip cream, couples’ counseling isn’t on the horizon yet.
By the time December rolls around, pumpkin pie is about as appealing as shopping on Black Friday. These muffins however, offer a lovely alternative to the redundancy of pie. They have an exquisite subtle pumpkin flavor, a “sticky-date-cake” consistency, ooey-gooey chocolate chips and a crisp nut topping. Even more appealing: they are easy to transport, they’re already individually “packaged” and they are slightly more gentle on your waistline.
So, if you find yourself with a roaming eye this season and are ready to play the field, these flirty little desserts are the perfect companion, sure to leave you feeling satisfied, full and free of regrets.
