Gluten-Free Pumpkin Mascarpone Muffins are a to-die-for breakfast or brunch treat. All in all, these are the tastiest muffins I have ever had. Pumpkin with hints of maple sugar and a delightful hidden gem inside. Nonetheless, inside each muffin is a dollop of maple-sweetened mascarpone. Topped with candied pumpkin seeds which without a doubt give it a crunch. Indeed the fall flavors envelop you in a warm virtual comforting hug. Above all,  this pairs well with a cup of tea or coffee. Perfect for Fall, Winter, or anytime. Once taste these muffins you will adore them.Gluten-Free Pumpkin Mascarpone Muffins

Gluten-Free Pumpkin Mascarpone Muffins:

Consequently, the maple and pumpkin will fill the air with their decadent aroma. Indeed, just imagine waking from sleep with these warm muffins calling your name. Think about biting into these soft and tender crumb muffins and topped with a cinnamon-candied pumpkin seed topping for a textural component. Most importantly, the mascarpone needs to be at room temperature before creating the filling and icing. Believe it or not but this muffin can be topped twice with candied pumpkin seeds, thereby, giving it twice the crunch. Just top with the sweetened seeds before baking. In conclusion, ice the muffins and then top them with some more seeds.  In fact, it is an elegant yet tasty muffin.

Gluten-Free Pumpkin Mascarpone Muffins:

However, if you have never had mascarpone you are indeed in for a treat. Needless to say, the mascarpone gives them the taste of cheesecake. Needless to say, Autumn makes me think of Halloween and Thanksgiving. At the same time, these would make a wonderful Thanksgiving morning breakfast or a wonderful addition to a Christmas brunch.

Pumpkin Variations:

For example, each muffin can be filled with mascarpone or left without filling. Top the muffins with my recipe of candied pumpkin seeds before going in the oven or leave them off. Not to mention, the same can be done with the icing. Of course, a couple of tablespoons of bourbon or rum. Of course, the bourbon or rum will bake out while leaving the flavor behind. Since the alcohol cooks off young and old can eat them.

over the muffin. Each muffin can be topped with a small amount of candied cinnamon pumpkin seeds.

Chef Notes:

Why start baking at 425 and then reduce? In summary, making the muffins at a high temperature initially for 5 minutes will quickly lift the tops of the muffins creating high tops. Followed by reducing the temperature without opening the oven will allow the centers to create a soft crumb. Thereby, making bakery-style muffins. I highly suggest not doing this for mini muffins.

Freezing Muffins: Yes, the muffins can be frozen. I highly suggest placing them with their liners on a small baking sheet and place in the freezer for around 4-5 hours. Next, remove it from the freezer and place it in a freezer bag. Most importantly, remove all the air possible before sealing. Place into the freezer with the date for up to 4 months. Remove and defrost in the fridge. Eat at room temperature or warm them in the microwave.
