Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon pumpkin spice
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 can (15 oz) pumpkin puree
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 8 oz cream cheese (room temperature)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for cream cheese swirl)
  • 1 large egg yolk (for cream cheese swirl)
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract (for cream cheese swirl)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F and line a muffin pan with paper baking cups.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, pumpkin spice, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
  4. Gradually fold in the dry ingredients until just combined; fill muffin cups about 3/4 full.
  5. In another bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth; mix in remaining sugar, egg yolk, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  6. Top each muffin with about one tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture and use a toothpick to swirl it gently into the batter.
