Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin pan with paper liners or grease the cups.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking soda, and pumpkin spice.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract, whisk until smooth.
  4. Gently fold the wet mixture into the dry ingredients until just combined; the batter should be thick and aromatic.
  5. In a small bowl, mix together the cream cheese, granulated sugar, flour, and milk until smooth and creamy.
  6. Scoop half of the muffin batter into each prepared cup, add a dollop of cream cheese filling, then spoon more batter on top.
  7. Bake for 18-20 minutes, check for doneness with a toothpick which should come out clean.
  8. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
