These Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffins are inspired by the delicious Starbucks version. They are perfect for a cozy fall morning or as a sweet treat any time of the year. The creamy cream cheese filling complements the spiced pumpkin muffin beautifully.

Ingredients: 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour. 1/2 teaspoon baking powder. 1/2 teaspoon baking soda. 1/2 teaspoon salt. 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon. 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg. 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves. 1 cup canned pumpkin puree. 1/2 cup granulated sugar. 1/2 cup brown sugar. 1/2 cup vegetable oil. 2 large eggs. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. 4 ounces cream cheese, softened. 1/4 cup granulated sugar. 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract.

Instructions: Preheat your oven to 350F 175C and line a muffin tin with paper liners. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. In a separate large bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Mix until well combined. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix. In a small bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, 1/4 cup of granulated sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract until smooth. Fill each muffin cup halfway with the pumpkin batter. Add a dollop about 1 tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture on top of the pumpkin batter in each muffin cup. Top the cream cheese with another spoonful of pumpkin batter, filling each muffin cup almost to the top. Use a toothpick or a knife to swirl the cream cheese and pumpkin batter together for a marbled effect. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy your homemade Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffins!
