Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Cream Cheese Filling: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth. Store in the refrigerator while you prepare the muffin batter.
Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and pumpkin pie spice.
Step 3: Combine the Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, mix the canned pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Step 4: Incorporate the Mixtures: Slowly fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined.
Step 5: Fill the Muffin Liners: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners. Spoon a portion of the pumpkin muffin batter into each liner. Add a dollop of the cream cheese filling atop the batter, cover with more batter until the liner is about two-thirds full.
Step 6: Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
