@cozybitesbykendell: Soft, moist pumpkin muffins filled with a sweet and creamy cheesecake center! The perfect cozy fall treat! 🍂🧁 ⏱️ Prep Time: 15 minutes 🔥 Cook Time: 20–25 minutes 🧁 Servings: 12 muffins 🌡️ Oven Temperature: 350°F 🛒 INGREDIENTS Pumpkin Muffins: * 1¾ cups all-purpose flour * 1 cup pumpkin purée (not pumpkin pie filling) * ¾ cup granulated sugar * ¼ cup brown sugar, packed * ½ cup vegetable oil * 2 large eggs * ¼ cup milk * 1 tsp vanilla extract * 1 tsp baking soda * ½ tsp baking powder * ½ tsp salt * 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice * 1 tsp ground cinnamon Cream Cheese Filling: * 8 oz cream cheese, softened * ¼ cup granulated sugar * 1 egg yolk * 1 tsp vanilla extract Optional Cinnamon Sugar Topping: * 2 tbsp granulated sugar * ½ tsp cinnamon 👩‍🍳 INSTRUCTIONS 1. Preheat Oven: Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners. 2. Make Cream Cheese Filling: In a medium bowl, beat softened cream cheese, sugar, egg yolk, and vanilla until smooth and creamy. Set aside. 3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together pumpkin purée, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, milk, and vanilla until smooth. 4. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, pumpkin pie spice, and cinnamon. 5. Combine: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix. 6. Assemble Muffins: Fill each muffin liner about one-third full with pumpkin batter. Add approximately 1 tablespoon of cream cheese filling to the center, then cover with more pumpkin batter until liners are about three-quarters full. 7. Add Topping: Mix cinnamon and sugar together and sprinkle lightly over each muffin, if desired. 8. Bake: Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the pumpkin portion is set and a toothpick inserted away from the cream cheese center comes out clean. 9. Cool & Enjoy: Allow muffins to cool in the pan for 5–10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. 🍂 TIPS & STORAGE ✨ Use room-temperature cream cheese for the smoothest filling. ✨ Avoid overmixing to keep muffins soft and fluffy. ✨ For a bakery-style appearance, swirl a little extra cream cheese filling on top before baking. ✨ Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. ✨ Freeze tightly wrapped muffins for up to 2 months. 🧡 These pumpkin cream cheese muffins are perfectly spiced, incredibly moist, and filled with a rich cheesecake center. A delicious homemade fall treat! #pumpkinrecipes #muffins #fallbaking #dessert #yummy
