Description

Delicious homemade pumpkin cream cheese muffins inspired by Starbucks, perfect for fall.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, mix together the pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  5. In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar until smooth.
  6. Fill each muffin cup halfway with the pumpkin batter, then add a dollop of the cream cheese mixture, and top with more pumpkin batter.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For a spicier flavor, add more cinnamon or a pinch of cloves.
  • These muffins can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
  • Feel free to add nuts or chocolate chips for extra texture.
