Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour (or whole wheat flour, gluten-free flour)
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree (or mashed sweet potato, applesauce)
  • ½ cup sugar (or brown sugar, coconut sugar)
  • ½ cup brown sugar (or monk fruit sweetener, maple syrup)
  • 2 large eggs (or flax eggs for a vegan option)
  • 1 tsp baking soda (or baking powder)
  • 1 tsp baking powder (or more baking soda)
  • 1 tsp cinnamon (or nutmeg, allspice, pumpkin spice blend)
  • ½ tsp salt (or sea salt, kosher salt)
  • 1 cup cream cheese, softened (or ricotta, mascarpone cheese)
  • ½ cup powdered sugar (or stevia, other sweetener)

    • Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line muffin tins with paper liners or grease them lightly.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, mix together the pumpkin puree, sugar, brown sugar, and eggs until well combined. Add the dry ingredients gradually.
  • In a separate bowl, mix the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until creamy and smooth.
  • Gently fold the pumpkin mixture until no dry ingredients remain. Be careful not to overmix!
  • Pour the batter into the prepared muffin tins, filling each cup about 2/3 full. Add a dollop of the cream cheese mixture on top and gently swirl with a toothpick.
  • Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let them cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  • Serve warm or at room temperature. These muffins are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container.
