How could a muffin made with pumpkin and cream cheese not hit every fall flavor you’ll ever need. These will do just that! Only needing two bowls to whip these babies up and 35 minutes and you will have a treat the whole family will be fighting over.
I feel like fall baking just comes so natural?!? Does it feel like that for you too? The flavors are just easy to mix together and you just can’t go wrong with anything spiced with cinnamon and nutmeg. It just feels like home to me, and maybe that’s why it always feels so natural and relaxing.
To mix these cozy home muffins up you will simply need a bowl for the dry ingredients and a bowl for the wet. I always use the wet ingredient bowl after dumping it into the dry, to mix up the cream cheese filling. If I can condense on one less item to clean, sign me up 🙋♀️
So lets get to baking, my friends!

Instructions

- Put filling into a quart ziplock and snip one corner tip off. (only snip a small 1/4 inch corner.) Stick the tip into the top of each muffin cut and squeeze approximately a tbsp of the cream cheese filling into the muffin.
