Ingredients

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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.

Step 2

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set this dry mixture aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and well blended.

Step 4

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, folding gently with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

In a separate small bowl, beat together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and milk until smooth to create the cream cheese filling.

Step 6

Spoon a small amount of the pumpkin muffin batter into each muffin cup, filling them about one-third full.

Step 7

Add a spoonful of the cream cheese filling to the center of each muffin cup, then top with more pumpkin batter until each cup is about 3/4 full.

Step 8

If desired, sprinkle chopped pecans or walnuts on top for added crunch.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the muffin (avoiding the cream cheese center) comes out clean.

Step 10

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

Step 11

Enjoy these moist, flavorful muffins with a cup of coffee or tea!
