Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, eggs, and granulated sugar. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined.
In a small bowl, beat together the cream cheese, granulated sugar, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
In another bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, evaporated milk, brown sugar, egg, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt until smooth.
Spoon a small amount of the pumpkin muffin batter into each muffin cup, filling each about 1/3 full. Use a spoon or piping bag to add a dollop of the cream cheese filling on top of the muffin batter. Spoon a small amount of the pumpkin pie filling on top of the cream cheese filling, filling each muffin cup about 2/3 full. Repeat until all muffin cups are filled.
Bake the muffins for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Variations
If you want to switch things up, try adding chocolate chips or chopped nuts to the muffin batter. You can also use a different type of cream cheese, such as pumpkin spice or maple, for a different flavor profile.
