  • 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 ½ teaspoons salt
  • 2 ½ cups granulated sugar
  • 15 ounces pumpkin puree

CREAM CHEESE FILLING INGREDIENTS

  • 8 ounce package cream cheese softened
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 tablespoons sugar

Instructions

  • Pre-heat your oven to 350 degrees and grease 24 muffin cups or line them with paper liners.
  • In a large bowl sift together flour, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt.
  • With your mixer beat sugar, pumpkin, eggs and oil and water until well combined.
  • Add the dry ingredients into the wet and mix to combine.
  • To make the filling: With your mixer beat the cream cheese until it’s light and fluffy. Add in the egg, vanilla and 3 tablespoons sugar and mix to combine.
  • Fill each muffin cup about 1/4 of the way full with batter. Place about 1 tablespoons cream cheese mixture in the center, then top with remaining batter so that each cupcake is filled about 3/4 of the way.
  • Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Allow to cool for about 10 minutes before serving. Dust with powdered sugar if you wish.
