Description
These Pumpkin Banana Muffins are moist, flavorful, and perfect for fall. With a blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves, they offer a warm and comforting taste.
Ingredients
1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
1 tbsp pumpkin pie spice
1 cup pumpkin puree
½ cup granulated sugar
½ cup brown sugar
2 large eggs
½ cup vegetable oil
1 tsp vanilla extract
4 oz cream cheese, softened
¼ cup granulated sugar
1 egg yolk
½ tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, baking soda, salt, and pumpkin pie spice.
3. In another bowl, mix the wet ingredients: pumpkin puree, sugars, eggs, oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
4. Combine the wet and dry ingredients, mixing just until incorporated. Be careful not to overmix.
5. In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugar, egg yolk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
6. Fill each muffin cup halfway with batter, then add a dollop of the cream cheese mixture on top. Use a toothpick or knife to swirl the cream cheese into the batter.
7. Bake for 18–20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Let the muffins cool for 5 minutes in the tin, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
