    What do you get when you combine cinnamon, cream cheese, and pumpkin? Something amazing, that’s what! Saying that I enjoyed these soft and perfect muffins is an understatement. These pumpkin muffins are filled with the most delicious cream cheese filling. For this recipe, all I did was use this pumpkin cupcakes recipe and added some cream cheese batter to it. You may certainly add chopped walnuts to these but I kept it simple.

    Fresh or Canned Pumpkin?

    Definitely use canned pumpkin for this recipe. This is such a quick and easy recipe, so don’t make things harder on yourself. Although if you have homemade fresh pumpkin puree, use it. Just make sure it doesn’t have any sugar.

     

    Can I Make These Without Cream Cheese? 

    I’m not sure why you would want to omit the best part of this recipe, but feel free to just make the muffins without the cream cheese filling.

     

    Top Tips 

    • Please use room large temperature eggs and softened cream cheese.
    • Make sure to really mix the cream cheese filling well.
    • If you want to double the cream cheese filling so the muffins have more filling, you can certainly do that.

    Storage

    Let these come to room temperature and then place them in an airtight container. They should last for up to 3 days at room temperature or up to 4-5 days in the fridge. To freeze, place these in a freezer bag and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw at room temperature and then microwave them for 12-15 seconds.
