Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon (for swirl)
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for frosting)
  • 2-4 tablespoons milk (as needed for frosting consistency)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.
  4. In a separate large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  5. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  6. Add the pumpkin puree and buttermilk to the wet ingredients, alternating with the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  7. In a small bowl, combine melted butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon for the swirl filling.
  8. Fill each muffin liner about halfway with batter, spoon about 1 teaspoon of the cinnamon swirl mixture over the batter, and swirl into the batter.
  9. Top with remaining muffin batter and another teaspoon of cinnamon mixture, swirling lightly.
  10. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  11. Cool muffins in the tin for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  12. For the frosting, beat together cream cheese and butter until smooth, gradually add powdered sugar, then vanilla. Add milk until desired consistency is reached.
  13. Once muffins are cool, frost them generously with cream cheese frosting.
  14. Enjoy immediately!

Notes

Measure flour correctly for best results. Allow muffins to cool slightly before frosting.
