ingredients

1 ³⁄₄ cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon pumpkin spice
1 teaspoon baking soda
¹⁄₂ teaspoon salt
1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin (pure pumpkin puree)
1 cup granulated sugar
¹⁄₂ cup packed brown sugar
2 large eggs
¹⁄₂ cup vegetable oil
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
8 ounces cream cheese
¹⁄₄ cup granulated sugar
1 large egg yolk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

directions

Preheat oven to 375°F Place paper baking cups into muffin pan. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk flour, pumpkin spice, baking soda and salt until well combined. Set aside.
In large bowl, whisk together pumpkin, sugar and brown sugar.
Beat in eggs, vegetable oil and vanilla extract. Slowly whisk in the flour mixture, until there are no lumps. Fill muffin tins 3/4 full.
In a medium bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add in sugar, egg yolk and vanilla extract and beat until well combined.
Fill prepared muffin cups.
Top each muffin with about 1 tablespoon of cream cheese mixture and use a toothpick to swirl it into the batter. This will not look smooth, but it will bake up much prettier. (You can see exactly how I did this in the video at the top of the page.).
Bake muffins for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
I liked these best at room temperature or even slightly chilled.

These muffins are wonderful and deliciously moist and flavorful. Made just as directed and they turned out perfectly. What a nice treat for breakfast along with a cup of coffee. Will definitely make these muffins again.

How long do they last? Do you have to put them in the fridge?

Well I tried them but my mistake, I filled the muffin tins to high The cream cheese mixture never melted into the muffin even though I did mix it with a toothpick. Not pretty but tasted good. I'm giving this a 4 star rating for taste, can't comment honestly on appearance because I goofed!
