If I could choose just one bakery item to make on repeat during the fall, it would be Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffins. Everyone goes crazy for them, and they have the perfect blend of spices mixed with the sweet cream cheese filling.
How to make Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffins:
Mix Cream Cheese Filling: Combine the cream cheese and powdered sugar and mix well until smooth. Refrigerate while you make the muffins. Make Muffin Batter: Combine flour, spices, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Stir and set aside. In a separate large bowl, combine the eggs, oil, sugar, and pumpkin purée. Mix until well combined. Add to the dry ingredients and mix until just incorporated. Streusel Topping: Add the streusel topping ingredients to a bowl and mix using a pastry blender or fork, until crumbly. Bake: Fill each muffin cup with a heaping tablespoon of batter then place a heaping teaspoon of cream cheese filling into the center of each muffin cup. Add additional muffin batter until the cups are ¾ way full. Sprinkle crumb topping over the top of each. Bake muffins for 18-20 minutes. Remove from muffin pan and allow to cool on a wire rack before serving.
Storing and Freezing Instructions:
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-5 days. To Freeze: Place muffins in a freezer safe bag or container and freeze for up to 3 months.
