1 cup pumpkin puree
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
3/4 cup vegetable oil
2 large eggs
1 tbsp baking powder
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Line muffin tins with paper liners or grease them lightly with cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well combined.
In another bowl, beat the eggs, then add the pumpkin puree and vegetable oil. Mix until everything is smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined—don’t overmix.
In a small bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.
Spoon half of the muffin batter into each muffin cup. Add a dollop of the cream cheese mixture, then cover with the remaining muffin batter.
Place in the oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
