Ingredients

  • Filling
  • 8 oz cream cheese room temperature
  • cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Topping
  • 2 Tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 Tbsp salted butter melted
  • 1 tsp pumpkin spice or homemade
  • ¼ cup pumpkin seeds chopped
  • ¼ granola or oats
  • Muffin Batter
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp ground ginger
  • 1 tsp nutmeg
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • ¾ cup salted butter softened
  • 1 ¼ cups granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 cups 15 oz can pumpkin puree

Instructions

  • Line muffin cups with cupcake liners.  Preheat the oven to 350 degrees ferenheit.
  • In a medium bowl combine cream cheese, powdered sugar and vanilla until smooth.  Spoon the cream cheese mixture into a piping bag and set aside.
  • In a small bowl combine topping ingredients and set aside.
  • For the muffin batter, cream together butter and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer.
  • Add egg and pumpkin puree, mix well.
  • In a separate bowl, combine dry ingredients.
  • Add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and mix until a thick batter forms.
  • Use a cookie scoop to fill each of the muffin tins with batter right to the top.
  • Sprinkle a tablespoon of the topping mixture on the top of the muffin.
  • Snip the tip off of the piping bag and squeeze two tablespoons of the cream cheese mixture into the center of the batter.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 30 mins.
  • Move to a wire rack to cool before serving.

Notes

  • A large ziplock bag may be used instead of a pastry bag to pipe the cream cheese filling into the batter.
  • Muffins may be stored in an airtight container, covered in plastic wrap for 3-4 days.
  • A 15 oz can of pumpkin puree is just under two cups (1.875 cups) but you'll still get moist pumpkin muffins with this shortage.
