How Do You Make Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffins?

It’s always a major plus when you find a recipe that you like and tastes amazing. Plus one that is not overly complicated to make! As fancy as cream cheese-filled pumpkin muffins may sound, they are really easy to make! These steps will help walk you through the process.

  1. Prepare Muffin Tins: Preheat oven to 350 and spray a muffin tin with cooking spray.
  2. Mix Together: Prepare the filling by combining the cream cheese and powdered sugar in a medium bowl and mixing well until blended and smooth.Transfer filling to a piping bag fitted with a piping tip. (just a regular round piping tip will do fine)
  3. Muffin Batter: In a medium bowl, combine the flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, pumpkin pie spice, salt and baking soda; whisk to blend. In the bowl of an electric mixer combine the eggs, sugar, pumpkin puree and oil. Mix on medium-low speed until blended. With the mixer on low speed, add in the dry ingredients, mixing just until incorporated.
  4. Fill Muffin Tins: Fill muffin tins 2/3 full with muffin batter. Next add the filling. Poke the piping tip into the middle of each muffin batter-filled tin. Squeeze out about 1-2 tablespoons of filling into the batter. (Just guess, it doesn’t need to be exactly 2 tablespoons, just enough to fill the center of the muffin)
  5. Bake: Bake for 20-25 minutes until a toothpick comes out mostly clean. Allow to cool on a wire rack. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.

Can You Freeze Pumpkin Muffins with Cream Cheese Filling?

When it comes to freezing pumpkin cream cheese muffins that is definitely an option. There are just a couple of things you have to keep in mind so that you properly freeze them so that they can last as long as possible.

  • Cool: Make sure muffins are cooled completely before wrapping and freezing. 
  • Write the date: Store them in an airtight container and write the date on it before putting it into the freezer. Muffins can last up to 3 months frozen!
  • Thaw: You can let them defrost by room temperature
  • Reheat: If you are using a microwave: Place the unwrapped muffin on a napkin or a microwave-safe paper towel or plate. Microwave on HIGH about 30 seconds for each muffin. If you are using an oven: it is recommended that you foil-wrapped muffins and re-heat at 350°F 10 to 15 minutes, depending on the size of the muffins.
