How to Make Cheese Filled Pumpkin Pecan Muffins
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease well.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, 1 cup chopped pecans, 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree, ½ cup sour cream, and ½ cup (1 stick) melted unsalted butter.
- Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Fill each muffin cup about halfway full with batter.
- Place a ½-ounce cube of cream cheese in the center of each muffin.
- Top each muffin with the remaining batter, filling the cups about ¾ full.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
