How to Make Pumpkin Cheesecake Muffins

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
  • In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Set aside.
  • In a separate large bowl, whisk together the vegetable oil, eggs, pumpkin puree, and vanilla extract. Slowly fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.
  • In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, sugar, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  • Fill each muffin liner halfway with the pumpkin batter. Add a spoonful of the cheesecake filling into the center of each, then top with a little more pumpkin batter until the liners are about ¾ full.
  • Bake the muffins for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the muffin comes out clean. Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Make sure your cream cheese is at room temperature to avoid lumps. Store these muffins in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze them for up to 3 months.
