Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffins

Soft moist Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffin with Streusel with subtle cinnamon and nutmeg flavor notes is so awesome fresh from the oven. Lovely pumpkin and cream cheese flavors embedded with each other are a triumphant combination. This seasonal muffin is perfect with coffee or to present at a party and can be made with very little preliminary work that makes it a very good selection for your seasonal festivities. Pumpkin Muffin like this one provides a harmony of thick, sweet textures, cream cheese sweetness and flavors that are becoming a fall spice classic. Here in my home, these go very fast, my husband got a muffin and returned looking the next day but found an empty serving dish and three happy kids with guilt free grins letting him know he needs to move faster if he wants to enjoy this dish next time it comes out of the oven.

Streusel

In a small bowl: combine flour, brown sugar, cinnamon and mix. Add melted butter & mix until it begins to form coarse crumbs. 

Batter

In a bowl: add flour, salt, cinnamon, pumpkin spice, baking powder & baking soda. Mix everything together. (I highly recommend sifting the dry ingredients before adding to the wet ingredients, this will make the batter fluffy and not lumpy). In a large separate bowl: add white sugar, brown sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, pumpkin puree and oil.

Mix everything together until combined.

Add dry ingredients and mix. 

Cream Cheese

In a medium size bowl: add softened cream cheese and whip until smooth. Add sugar, vanilla extract and whip/beat until smooth. Add the egg yolk and whip until smooth. Use a spatula to scrap the sides of the cheesecake batter to center of the bowl and continue to whip until smooth.

Bake

Use an ice cream scooper or spoon to measure even portions. Place each scoop of batter in the muffin tin.

Add 1 tbsp of cream cheese mixture in the center of the batter.

Sprinkle the crumble mixture atop the batter. 

Bake for 24 minutes or until a toothpick placed in the center of the muffin comes out clean. Let the muffins cool in the tin for about 5 minutes and then transfer them to a baking rack to finish cooling completely.

Stays fresh for over a week. Serve & Enjoy!
