Print Recipe

Delightful muffins swirled with rich cream cheese and spiced pumpkin, perfect for fall gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin spice
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon pumpkin spice, and 1/2 teaspoon salt until well combined.
  2. Mix together 1 cup of pumpkin puree, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 2 large eggs, 1/2 cup vegetable oil, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth in another bowl. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet until just combined.
  3. Beat together 8 oz of softened cream cheese, 1/4 cup sugar, 1 egg yolk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until creamy and smooth in a medium mixing bowl.
  4. Line a muffin tin with paper liners. Spoon the pumpkin batter into each muffin cup, filling them about 3/4 full. Then, add about a tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture to each muffin and swirl it through with a toothpick.
  5. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Keep a close eye towards the end.

Notes

Store muffins in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Freshness tips: Use room temperature ingredients for a smoother batter.
