How to make pumpkin cream cheese crumble muffins
Begin with preheating your oven to 375F (190C) and lining a 12-cavity muffin pan with paper liners. In a bowl, mix flour with salt, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, baking powder, and baking soda. Set this mix aside.
In a large bowl, whisk 2 eggs with sugar until well blended. Add oil and mix to combine. Add pumpkin and vanilla extract, mixing well. Stir in the flour mixture until combined; avoid overmixing and set it aside.
Now, let’s prepare the cream cheese filling. Mix cream cheese with sugar, egg yolk, and vanilla extract. Spoon a generous amount of the pumpkin mixture into the muffin cups. Divide the cream cheese mixture evenly and top it with the remaining pumpkin batter.
Moving on to the crumb topping, in a medium bowl, combine sugar with flour, cinnamon, and melted butter. Divide the crumbs on top of each muffin.
Bake for about 20-25 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Once done, cool the muffins on a wire rack.
Now, it’s time to enjoy these delightful Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffins with a delectable crumb topping! Hope you will try them out and don’t forget to share the photos with me on Instagram. Enjoy!
