Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs

  • 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for frosting)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, combine flour, sugars, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and spices.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together oil, eggs, evaporated milk, and pumpkin puree until smooth.
  4. Gradually add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  5. In a small bowl, beat softened cream cheese with powdered sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon until smooth.
  6. Fill each muffin cup halfway with batter, then add a spoonful of cream cheese filling, and top with remaining batter.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let muffins cool completely, then pipe or spread cream cheese frosting on top, garnished with cinnamon or pecans if desired.

Notes
