Ingredients

• 1.75 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons ground nutmeg
• 0.5 teaspoons ground ginger
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.75 cups granulated sugar
• 0.5 cups brown sugar
• 1 cups pumpkin puree
• 0.5 cups vegetable oil
• 0.25 cups milk
• 2 pieces large eggs
• 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 0.25 cups granulated sugar (for cheesecake layer)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 piece egg yolk

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, mix the granulated sugar, brown sugar, pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, milk, and eggs until smooth and combined.

Step 4

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, gently stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

In another small bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and egg yolk. Beat until smooth and creamy.

Step 6

Fill each muffin cup about 2/3 full with the pumpkin batter. Add a dollop (about 1 tablespoon) of the cream cheese mixture on top of each muffin.

Step 7

Use a toothpick or skewer to gently swirl the cream cheese mixture into the pumpkin batter to create a marbled effect.

Step 8

Bake the muffins in the preheated oven for 20-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the muffins comes out clean (avoid the cream cheese portion when testing).

Step 9

Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Serve and enjoy your delicious Pumpkin Cheesecake Swirl Muffins!
