These Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffins are the perfect indulgent treat for fall. They are moist, flavorful, and filled with a creamy, cheesy surprise!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger.
  3. In a large bowl, blend the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, pumpkin puree, and vegetable oil until smooth.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
  5. In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth.
  6. Fill each muffin liner halfway with the pumpkin batter, then add a dollop of cream cheese on top, followed by more pumpkin batter until the liners are about three-quarters full.
  7. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Let cool for a few minutes in the pan before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
