Ingredients
Pumpkin Muffins
4 large eggs, room temp
1 2/3 cups granulated sugar
1 cup unsalted butter, melted
15 oz canned pumpkin puree
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp pumpkin spice extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsps baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
1 tsp salt
Cream Cheese Filling:
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 egg yolk
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350℉ and line 2 (12-count) muffin tins with cupcake liners.
For the cream cheese filling: Beat the cream cheese until smooth. Mix in sugar, egg yolk, and vanilla extract until well combined. Transfer to a piping bag, and set it aside in the fridge while you prepare the muffin batter.
In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, add the eggs, granulated sugar, melted butter, extracts and pumpkin. Beat until combined.
Fold in the dry ingredients with a spatula until just combined.
Divide the batter evenly into each muffins tin and pipe a generous amount of the cream cheese filling into each muffin.
Cook for 22-27 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean. Let the muffins cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
