Delicious Pumpkin Cream Cheese Streusel Muffins that are perfect for fall.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup canned pure pumpkin puree
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/4 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup cold butter, cubed
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
- Prepare the Cream Cheese Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
- Make the Muffin Batter: In a large bowl, combine pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla. Whisk until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, mix flour, baking powder, baking soda, spices (cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger), and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Prepare the Streusel Topping: In another bowl, mix flour, brown sugar, rolled oats, and cinnamon. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to combine with the cold cubed butter until crumbly.
- Assemble the Muffins: Fill each muffin cup about 1/3 full with the pumpkin batter. Add a tablespoon of the cream cheese filling in the center of each cupcake batter, then top with more batter until nearly full. Finally, sprinkle the streusel topping generously over each muffin.
- Bake: Place in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool: Remove from the oven and allow the muffins to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Serve the muffins warm on a rustic wooden board.
- Dust with powdered sugar for presentation.
- Pair with a small bowl of cream cheese frosting for an extra treat.
