How to Make Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffins

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the pumpkin puree, vanilla extract, and spices.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. In a small bowl, combine the cream cheese, brown sugar, and pecans. Mix until well blended.
  7. Gently fold the cream cheese mixture into the pumpkin batter.
  8. Fill each muffin cup about 2/3 full with batter.
  9. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
