Scale

  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease them with cooking spray.
  • In a small bowl, beat the cream cheese with a tablespoon of sugar and a splash of vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and pumpkin pie spice until well combined.
  • In another bowl, beat the eggs, then add the pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, remaining sugar, and vanilla extract. Whisk until all ingredients are well combined.
  • Gradually add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing until just incorporated. Avoid overmixing to keep the muffins light and fluffy.
  • Spoon a tablespoon of batter into each muffin cup, then add a dollop of the cream cheese filling in the center, and top with more batter until the cups are about two-thirds full.
  • Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  • Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
