Delightful Starbucks Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffins: A Cozy Fall Treat
1. 1. Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the cup.
2. 2. In a small bowl, mix the cream cheese, sugar, flour, milk, and vanilla until smooth. Set aside.
3. 3. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking soda, pumpkin spice, and salt. In another bowl, mix the pumpkin puree, oil, eggs, and vanilla until smooth. Combine the wet and dry ingredients, being careful not to overmix.
4. 4. Spoon half of the muffin batter into the prepared muffin cup. Add about 1 teaspoon of the cream cheese filling into the center of each muffin, then cover with the remaining batter.
5. 5. Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.
6. 6. Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5–10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
To ensure your homemade Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffins turn out perfectly, avoid overmixing, test for doneness with a toothpick, allow proper cooling, and store properly in an airtight container.
