Ingredients
Scale
1 cup pumpkin puree
1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 large eggs
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
In a large bowl, mix together the pumpkin puree, cream cheese, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until well combined.
In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Spoon the muffin batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about halfway.
Using a knife, swirl the remaining cream cheese mixture into each muffin.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For extra flavor, add chocolate chips or nuts to the batter.
Ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature for easy mixing.
