Kick off fall with these simple yet cozy Pumpkin Muffins with Cream Cheese Filling. Instead of hard launching into a full pumpkin pie, these lightly spiced pumpkin muffins are the perfect back to school snack and segue into the cooler seasons.
These pumpkin muffins are incredibly moist. There is no need for a topping since the cream cheese is baked right in! It's like you took your favorite pumpkin cake and crossed it with velvety cheesecake in its own perfect little package.
Second to the incredible flavor, what you'll love about this pumpkin cream cheese muffins is that the batter comes together super quick and without many tools. The wet ingredients (eggs, oil, pumpkin puree, sugar, and plain yogurt) get whisked together in a large mixing bowl. Stir in the dry ingredients (flour, spices, etc) to combine.
The cream cheese core is not more than softened cream cheese mixed with a little sugar and vanilla. Smush and stir with a rubber spatula until smooth. A little sprinkle of cinnamon and sugar on top is the perfect finishing touch.
