Pumpkin Cream Cheese Swirl Muffins – the ultimate fall delight with a richly moist and cakey pumpkin muffin complimented with a cream cheese swirl.

IT’S OFFICIALLY FALL!!!! Time to commence the best time of the year!!

There is nothing better than this time of the year. This is the start of the holiday season, cool weather, time with family, soup and hot drinks. Like yes, Summer and Spring are nice, heck I was born right in the middle of the 2, but nothing compares to Fall and Winter.

The delectable Fall flavors are some of my favorites. The Pumpkin and pumpkin spice, cinnamon, nutmeg, all of it. I spend a considerable amount of time explaining to people who don’t like pumpkin that they still might like pumpkin spice. Pumpkin spice is just the mixture of spices that compliments pumpkin, but it doesn’t actually have any pumpkin in it.

I’ve explained that to my dad more times than I can count.

Pumpkin Cream Cheese Swirl Muffins

15 oz can of puree pumpkin
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 cup granulated sugar
2 tbsp vanilla extract
2 large eggs
1/2 vegetable oil
1 3/4 cup all purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
2 tbsp pumpkin spice
1/2 tsp salt

Cream cheese swirl

1 large egg
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 tsp vanilla
8 ounces cream cheese

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees, and line a large muffin pan with baking paper. I used these cute baking cups that I got from TJ Maxx.

In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, pumpkin spice, and salt. Set aside.

In a separate bowl, whisk the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Add in the vanilla, eggs, and vegetable.

Add in the flour mixture and mix until well combined.

Transfer to the muffin tin.

Beat the cream cheese, granulated sugar, vanilla, and egg. Take about 2 tbsp of the cream cheese mixture and swirl it on top of each muffin.

Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

These can also be made as regular sized muffins, just bake them for about 20 minutes instead, making sure to check with a toothpick to make sure they are finished baking.

Yield: 12 large muffins, 24 regular muffins
