THE BEST PUMPKIN CREAM CHEESE MUFFINS RECIPE: Delicious pumpkin muffins with cream cheese!

cream cheese

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: ricotta cheese

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

Start by making the cream cheese filling. Use a spoon to soften the cream cheese.

Add granulated sugar to the cream cheese and mix it in.

Add a little vanilla extract to the mixture and mix until combined. Set aside.

In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, kosher salt, baking soda, baking powder, and pumpkin pie spice.

In another bowl, whisk together an egg and add canola oil, mixing until emulsified.

Add granulated sugar and light brown sugar to the egg and oil mixture, whisking until combined and breaking up any lumps of brown sugar.

Add pumpkin puree to the mixture and whisk until fully combined.

Switch to a spatula and fold in the dry ingredients until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

Line the muffin tin with two liners for each muffin to prevent over-baking on the outside.

Scoop the batter into the liners, filling them almost to the top. Press the batter down slightly.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (convection setting).

Bake the muffins for about 20 minutes, checking around 15 minutes for doneness.

To test for doneness, insert a toothpick from the side of the muffin to avoid the cream cheese filling. It should come out clean.

Remove the muffins from the tin and let them cool slightly before serving.
