Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine the granulated sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Beat until well combined.
  4. Stir in the pumpkin puree and milk until just combined.
  5. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. In a small bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract until smooth.
  7. Fill each muffin liner about two-thirds full with the pumpkin batter.
  8. Drop a spoonful of the cream cheese mixture into the center of each muffin.
  9. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  10. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For an extra special touch, you can sprinkle a little cinnamon sugar on top before baking.
  • Ensure your cream cheese is fully softened for a smooth filling.
  • These muffins are best enjoyed fresh, but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
