Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners. Mix cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth; roll into 12 small balls and freeze 15 minutes. Whisk flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, all spices, and salt in a large bowl.

  2. 2

    Whisk pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla in another bowl. Fold wet into dry until just combined — a few streaks of flour are fine; overmixing creates dense muffins.

  3. 3

    Fill each muffin cup halfway with batter. Place one frozen cream cheese ball in the center of each. Cover with remaining batter so the cream cheese is completely hidden. Bake 20–22 minutes until the tops are domed and golden and a toothpick inserted at the edge (not through the filling) comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes before eating — the cream cheese filling is very hot.
