Hello, pumpkin lovers! Today, I’m excited to share with you one of my favorite fall treats: Pumpkin Cream Cheese Swirl Muffins. These muffins combine the rich, spiced flavor of pumpkin with a creamy, sweet swirl of cream cheese, making them the perfect indulgence for the cooler months. Whether you’re looking for a sweet breakfast, an afternoon snack, or a dessert, these muffins are sure to impress!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoon milk

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and pumpkin pie spice.
  • In another bowl, mix the pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, eggs, sugar, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir until just combined.
  • In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and milk until smooth and creamy.
  • Fill each muffin cup halfway with the pumpkin batter.
  • Add a spoonful of the cream cheese mixture on top and swirl it with a toothpick to create a marble effect.
  • Bake for 18-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Equipment

Notes

  • When swirling the cream cheese, be gentle to maintain the marble effect without blending the two batters too much.
  • Don’t overmix the pumpkin batter. Stir just until the ingredients are combined to keep the muffins light and fluffy.
  • For a stronger spice flavor, feel free to increase the amount of pumpkin pie spice or add cinnamon.
