  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup packed brown sugar
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine the sugars, vegetable oil, eggs, pumpkin puree, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
  4. Gradually add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.
  5. In a small bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla until smooth to make the filling.
  6. Prepare the streusel topping by combining flour, brown sugar, and cold butter until crumbly.
  7. Fill each muffin liner halfway with batter, add a spoonful of cream cheese filling, then cover with remaining batter. Top with streusel.
  8. Bake for 20-22 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool slightly before serving.
