Description

Ingredients

• 1 block (8 oz) cream cheese
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1 teaspoon cloves
• 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 4 large eggs
• 2 cups sugar
• 2 cups pumpkin puree
• 1 1/4 cup canola oil
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 5 tablespoons flour
• 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 4 tablespoons cold butter, cut into small chunks

Directions

• Preheat oven to 350. Line two muffin tins with paper liners.
• To make the cream cheese filling: beat together the cream cheese and powdered sugar until well blended. Chill the filling in the freezer while you mix up the muffin batter.
• To make the muffins: in a medium bowl whisk together the flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, pumpkin pie spice, salt, and baking soda. In a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, beat together the eggs, sugar, pumpkin, and oil until combined. Add the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
• Scoop 2 tablespoons of muffin batter into each cup of the muffin tin.
• Remove the cream cheese filling from the freezer and scoop 1 tablespoon into each cup. Fill the muffin cups 3/4 full with the remaining batter, covering the cream cheese layer.
• To make the streusel: combine the sugar, flour, and cinnamon in a small bowl. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. You can use your fingers or a pastry cutter.
• Sprinkle each muffin cup with a small amount of streusel.
• Bake 20-25 minutes or until the muffins have formed a nice peak and spring back when touched lightly. Remove and let cool before serving.
