• 1.75 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon ground ginger
• 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup pumpkin puree
• 0.75 cup granulated sugar

• 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup

📝 Instructions

10 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners, or lightly grease the wells with non-stick spray.

2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt. Set aside.

3. In a large bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and well combined.

4. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula or wooden spoon. Stir just until the mixture is combined, being careful not to overmix.

5. In a small bowl, beat the cream cheese, maple syrup, and powdered sugar together until smooth and creamy.

6. Fill each muffin cup about two-thirds of the way full with the pumpkin batter. Add about a teaspoon of the maple cream mixture on top of the batter in each cup.

7. Use a toothpick or skewer to gently swirl the maple cream into the pumpkin batter, creating a marbled effect.

8. Bake the muffins for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

9. Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

10. Serve and enjoy! These muffins can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
