These Pumpkin Spice Cream Cheese Muffins are a moist pumpkin cake muffin swirled with an epic cream cheese filling. It’s the perfect Autumn breakfast or snack!

If there’s one good thing about this time of year, it’s all the ‘pumpkin spice’ foods and drinks available.

I am one who anticipates and embraces this flavour, even more this year since that fall crispness is in the air. Especially when it’s this Pumpkin Creme Brûlée! YUM!

Even this Pumpkin Bundt Cake is the perfect seasonal treat to bring on fall! Yet to top it all off, my morning coffee is simply perfect with this Pumpkin Spice Coffee Creamer recipe.

I recently made Pumpkin Spice Cream Cheese Muffins, but they sure didn’t last long. I expected to be able to freeze some, to enjoy here or there.

Yet, my kids had other plans – eating the bulk of them for breakfasts. I really can’t blame them though – they are really good!

Pumpkin Spice Cream Cheese Muffins

I love that this muffin recipe is a moist pumpkin cake, swirled with an epic cream cheese filling. It’s not too sweet, so those who shy away from this time of years ‘pumpkin spice all the things’, would very much enjoy this recipe.

Pair with a warm cup of tea or coffee, like a Pumpkin Spice Latte, this muffin definitely hits the mark.

Pumpkin Spice Cream Cheese Muffins take no time to whip up, and since there’s no decorating nor frosting involved, it’s not a time-consuming recipe either.

Simple yet delicious – perfect blend of pumpkin and spice, vanilla and rich cream cheese.

Pumpkin Spice Cream Cheese Muffins

This recipe makes 12-15 muffins depending on the size of your liners, so I’d make a double batch if you want to ensure they last more than a day or two. That’s what I’ll be doing from now on!

Enjoy the muffins! For another great muffin recipe to try, these Rhubarb Streusel Muffins are for you!

Don’t forget to also make these yummy Raspberry White Chocolate Scones!

Ingredients

MUFFINS

  • 1 3/4 cups Flour
  • 1 1/4 tbsp Pumpkin Spice
  • 1/2 tsp Baking Soda
  • 1/3 tsp Salt
  • 1 can {15 oz} Pumpkin Puree
  • 1 cup Sugar
  • 1/2 cup Brown Sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup Vegetable Oil
  • 2 tbsp Vanilla Extract

CREAM CHEESE MIXTURE

  • 8 oz Cream Cheese
  • 1/4 cup Sugar
  • 1 Egg Yolk
  • 3 tbsp Vanilla Extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375, and place cupcake liners into a muffin pan.
  2. In a medium bowl combine the flour, pumpkin spice, baking soda, and salt. Whisk until combined and set aside.
  3. In a large bowl combine pumpkin puree, sugar and the brown sugar. Stir until combined and slowly beat in the eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract.
  4. Slowly stir the flour mixture you set aside into the pumpkin mixture, until well combined with no lumps.
  5. Fill muffin liners about 3/4 of the way full, they don't rise too much.
  6. Again use the bowl from the flour mixture, to make the cream cheese mixture. For this, beat together the cream cheese, sugar, egg yolk and vanilla extract. Stop when it's well combined with no lumps.
  7. Top each liner filled with pumpkin mixture with about 2 tbsp of cream cheese mixture. Use a toothpick or knife to swirl the two mixtures together, making sure you don't puncture the cupcake liner.
  8. Bake muffins for 17-19 minutes. They are done when an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
  9. Enjoy warm or slightly chilled, refrigerate to store as they can become tacky when left out.

      Hi Becky,
      I’ve actually never visited that blog until just now, and comparing the recipes, they are somewhat different/varied in ingredients. Sorry you feel that way though. ?
