Preparation Steps

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin pan with cupcake liners.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together 1.5 cups of flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
  • In a large bowl, mix the pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, light brown sugar, oil, and eggs until well combined.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
  • In a small bowl, mix the cream cheese and vanilla extract until smooth.
  • For the streusel, combine 0.5 cup of flour, 0.25 cup brown sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and melted butter in a bowl until crumbly.
  • Scoop a tablespoon of muffin batter into each muffin liner, add a teaspoon of cream cheese mixture, and top with another tablespoon of muffin batter. Sprinkle streusel on top.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow to cool before serving.
