There’s nothing I like better than a certain coffee chain’s ‘Pumpkin Spice Latte’ and one of their ‘Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffins.’ I don’t like paying the price, so I cloned them to the best of my ability at home.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon ground allspice
- ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- ¼ teaspoon ground cardamom
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup packed dark brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 1 (15 ounce) can cooked pumpkin
- 4 ounces cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons sunflower seeds, as garnish
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Directions
Step 1
Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease 12 muffin cups or line with paper muffin liners.
Step 2
Stir the flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, cloves, pumpkin pie spice, cardamom, ginger, salt, and baking soda together in a bowl.
Step 3
Beat the brown sugar and the eggs together with an electric mixer in a large bowl until smooth. Add 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons vegetable oil and pumpkin; continue beating until integrated. Pour the flour mixture into the egg mixture and beat until just incorporated.
Step 4
Fill the prepared muffin cups about half-full with the batter. Spoon about 1 teaspoon cream cheese into the center of each muffin cup and poke it down into the middle of the batter with a finger. Sprinkle the sunflower seeds over each muffin.
Step 5
Bake in the preheated oven until golden and the tops spring back when lightly pressed, about 25 minutes. Let cool in pan 5 minutes and remove to a rack to cool completely. Be extra careful; the cream cheese stays hot for a while!
