Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground ginger
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cloves
- 1 cup Pumpkin puree
- 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.25 cup Whole milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 4 ounces Cream cheese
- 0.25 cup Powdered sugar
- 0.5 cup Chopped pecans (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
In a small bowl, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
Spoon the muffin batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full.
Using a spoon or piping bag, add a dollop of the cream cheese mixture to the center of each muffin. Use a toothpick to gently swirl the cream cheese into the batter if desired.
Sprinkle chopped pecans over the top of each muffin (if using).
Bake in the preheated oven for 18–22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the muffin (avoiding the cream cheese) comes out clean.
Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy your homemade Tim Hortons Pumpkin Spice Muffins!
