Well…the cans of pumpkin I bought last month are now officially gone.
I’m fresh out of pumpkin recipes but I’m thinking I saved the best for last.
Cream cheese can only make a recipe better…right? Here you go!
Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffins
Ann @ On Sutton Place: Ann @ On Sutton Place
Ingredients
- 8 oz. cream cheese at room temp.
- 1 egg
- 1 t. vanilla
- 3 T. brown sugar
- 5 T. flour
- 5 T. white sugar
- ¾ t. cinnamon
- 3 T. butter at room temp.
- 3 T. toasted chopped pecans (optional)
- 2½ c. flour
- 2 c. white sugar
- 2 t. baking powder
- 2 t. cinnamon
- ¼ t. salt
- 2 eggs
- 1⅓. c. pumpkin
- ⅓. c. canola oil
- 2 t. vanilla
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Grease and flour 18 muffin cups.
- Beat cream cheese until soft.
- Add egg, vanilla and brown sugar.
- Beat until smooth. Set aside.
- Mix flour, sugar, cinnamon and pecans.
- Add butter and cut in with a fork until crumbly.
- Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl combine flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon and salt.
- Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and gradually incorporate eggs, pumpkin, oil and vanilla.
- Beat until smooth.
- Fill cups with pumpkin mixture ½ full.
- Carefully add one T. cream cheese mixture right in the middle of the muffin cups.
- I used a pastry bag but a ziploc bag with the corner cut off works just as good.
- Sprinkle on the streusel topping.
- Bake 20 – 25 min.
The only thing I would do differently is squirt the cream cheese mixture more into the center of the muffin cup.
These had great texture and were so moist. Definitely worth the time to make them from scratch.
Happy Sunday to you all. Those in the path of Sandy have my prayers and good thoughts. Stay safe.

Ann…these look and sound so delicious, seriously! The topping really makes it different. I have everything but the cream cheese. I’ll put that on my grocery list! Thanks so much!
XO,

I haven’t made pumpkin muffins in ages. I used to make them for the kids to have when they got home from school in the fall. This is a good reminder to make some when they come home for Thanksgiving.
Hi Ann, Great photos of those muffins. The lighting is fantastic and I love the layering of the plate, board, and orange and white material (?).
Sounds yummy! I love pumpkin anything. Makes me feel like I am eating pie every time.
Hi Anne- I am back to blogging after my break. Those muffins sound great and I think I gained a pound just reading about them. Have a blessed Sunday- xo Diana
Hi Ann ~ your pumpkin cream cheese muffins look absolutely fantastic. I am going to have to try this. ~mmmmmm~
I’m drooling. Have a wonderful Sunday
Oh wow, hey thanks, Ann!
Very much appreciate the recipe, I want to try them and I have all the ingredients here now, yay.
I still have a can of pumpkin in the fridge, leftover from my foray into the world of miniature doughnuts – yummy! These look like diet-busters – the sort of muffins I’d best make to take to the office where there are lots of people to eat them!
Oh those look soooo stinkin’ delicious! I have to make them!
Oh Ann they sound YUMMY!!
Those look dee-licious! Cream cheese is my friend! :)
I feel like I could take a bite out of your photos. They look so delish.
These look delicious, Ann.
Ann, I’m giving you an A+ and a google +1! Hehe! These looks so darn delicious that I’m salivating like my dog! Yes, you did save the best for last!
My husband was reading over my shoulder. He plans to bake these soon.
Oh my goodness I’m making these yummies!!! xo
They are pretty, and I know they must be delicious. Thank you for sharing the recipe.
I love the pictures and it is almost ALWAYS worth making something from scratch. Happy for the recipe, i can’t wait to have one of my kids make them. I love that they are old enough to bake now.
I made these muffins tonight! Just let me say…Oh my Goodness!!! They are delicious! And so worth the extra bit of effort to make homemade. I think this recipe may have just taken over as my favorite pumpkin muffin/bread. Will be delicious with a cup of coffee. Thank you very much for such a wonderfully delicious recipe!!! :)
These muffins look and sound delicious. I can’t wait to try the recipe.
