Delicious and wholesome muffins that perfectly balance pumpkin and cream cheese flavors, perfect for fall or any time of the year.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can (15 oz) pumpkin puree
  • 3 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 ½ cups whole wheat flour
  • 1 cup sugar (or coconut sugar)
  • ½ cup vegetable oil (or applesauce for a healthier option)
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • ½ tsp nutmeg
  • ½ tsp salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with liners.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine pumpkin puree, eggs, and oil until well blended.
  3. In another bowl, mix the dry ingredients: flour, sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
  5. In a separate bowl, mix softened cream cheese with a bit of sugar until smooth.
  6. Fill muffin cups halfway with the pumpkin batter. Add a spoonful of cream cheese mixture, then top with more pumpkin batter.
  7. Swirl the cream cheese into the muffin batter gently.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let cool before serving.

Notes

For the best results, be careful not to overmix the batter to keep muffins light and fluffy. They can be frozen for later enjoyment.
