Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp pumpkin pie spice
- 1 cup pumpkin purée
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 6 oz cream cheese, softened
- 3 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a muffin tin with paper liners.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and pumpkin pie spice until combined.
- In another bowl, mix the pumpkin purée, vegetable oil, sugar, eggs, and vanilla until smooth.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing!
- In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until it’s nice and smooth.
- Fill the muffin cups about 3/4 full with the pumpkin batter. Spoon 1 tsp of the cream cheese mixture on top of each cup and gently swirl it with a toothpick.
- Bake for 18-22 minutes or until a toothpick poked in the center comes out clean.
- Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Ensure cream cheese is softened for easier mixing. Don’t skip the toothpick swirling for added visual appeal.
