Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground ginger
• 1.5 cups Pumpkin puree
• 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
• 2 large Eggs
• 8 ounces Cream cheese
• 0.25 cup Powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease lightly with baking spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, and eggs. Mix until smooth and well blended.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

To make the filling, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth and fluffy.

Step 6

Scoop about 2 tablespoons of muffin batter into each muffin cup. Then, place about 1 tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture in the center of each cup. Cover the cream cheese filling with another tablespoon of batter, making sure the filling is completely covered.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the muffin (not the cream cheese center) comes out clean.

Step 8

Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
