Ingredients:
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon salt
1 (15 oz) can pumpkin puree
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
2 large eggs
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Cream Cheese Swirl:
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg yolk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Directions:
Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the pumpkin mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fill Muffin Cups: Fill each muffin cup about 3/4 full with the pumpkin batter, distributing evenly among the cups.
Prepare Cream Cheese Swirl: In a mixing bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, egg yolk, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Swirl in Cream Cheese: Drop a tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture onto the top of each muffin. Use a toothpick to gently swirl the cream cheese into the pumpkin batter, creating a beautiful marbled effect.
Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Serve and Enjoy: Once baked, remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving. These muffins are best enjoyed warm, with a cup of coffee or tea.
