Looking for a delicious and easy-to-make fall treat? Look no further than these mouth-watering Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffins! These muffins are the perfect combination of sweet and savory, with a moist and fluffy pumpkin base and a creamy, tangy cream cheese filling.
To make these delicious muffins, you'll need the following ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp ground ginger
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp ground cloves
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg yolk
To start, preheat your oven to 375°F and line a muffin tin with paper liners. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves. In a separate large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined.
In a separate bowl, beat together the cream cheese, granulated sugar, and egg yolk until smooth. Spoon the pumpkin batter into the muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full. Spoon a dollop of the cream cheese mixture on top of each muffin, then use a toothpick or knife to swirl the cream cheese into the batter.
Bake the muffins for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
These Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffins are the perfect fall treat, with a moist and fluffy texture and a deliciously creamy filling. They're great for breakfast, brunch, or as a sweet snack any time of day. So why not whip up a batch today and enjoy the taste of fall in every bite?
