Ingredients

Muffins

  • 1 3/4 cup All purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon pumpkin spice
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 can (15 oz) pure pumpkin puree
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup dark brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Cream Cheese Swirl

  • 8 oz cream cheese
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Line muffin pan with muffin cups.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk flour, pumpkin spice, baking soda and salt until well combines. Set aside.
  • In large bowl, whisk together pumpkin, sugar and brown sugar.
  • Beat in eggs, vegetable oil and vanilla extract. Slowly whisk in the flour mixture until lumps are gone. Fill muffin liners 3/4 full.
  • In a medium bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add in sugar, egg yolk and vanilla extract and beat until well combined.
  • Top each muffin with approx. 1 teaspoon of cream cheese mixture and use a toothpick to swirl it into the top of the batter.
  • Bake muffins for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • I love these best several hours after baking them. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
