Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- For the muffins:
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- For the cream cheese filling:
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- For the maple glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2-3 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1-2 tablespoons milk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 3/4 cups of flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon of ground nutmeg, and 1/4 teaspoon of ground cloves.
- In a large bowl, mix together 1/2 cup of melted butter, 1 cup of pumpkin puree, 1/2 cup of granulated sugar, 1/4 cup of brown sugar, 2 eggs, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
- In a separate bowl, beat together 4 oz of softened cream cheese, 1/4 cup of granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until smooth.
- Fill each muffin cup halfway with the pumpkin batter. Add a spoonful of the cream cheese filling on top, then cover with more pumpkin batter until the cups are about 3/4 full.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1 cup of powdered sugar, 2-3 tablespoons of maple syrup, and 1-2 tablespoons of milk until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled muffins.
- Serve and enjoy!
