Ingredients

MUFFIN

  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup (109 g) vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 can (15 ounces) pumpkin puree
  • 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
  • ⅓ cup (67 g) packed brown sugar
  • 1¾ cups (219 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon homemade pumpkin spice, (2 tablespoons if store-bought spice)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt

CREAM CHEESE SWIRL

  • 8 ounces cream cheese
  • ½ cup (100 g) confectioners sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Spray muffin tin and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, beat in eggs, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, pumpkin puree, brown sugar, and granulated sugar.
  • Add in flour, pumpkin spice, baking soda, and salt. Stir with a spatula until combined.
  • In a medium bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add in confectioners sugar and beat until well combined.
  • Top each muffin with about 1 tablespoon of cream cheese mixture and use a toothpick to swirl it into the batter. Try to get the cream cheese down into the batter a bit, but leave some of that gorgeous swirl for the top.
  • Bake muffins for 18-20 minutes. Muffins are done when an inserted toothpick is removed with a few crumbs, but not wet batter.
