Ingredients

Instructions 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves.
  • In a large bowl, mix the granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, pumpkin puree, eggs, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until well combined.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
  • In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  • Scoop a tablespoon of the pumpkin muffin batter into each muffin cup, then add a small dollop of the cream cheese mixture on top, followed by another tablespoon of pumpkin batter to cover the cream cheese.
  • Repeat for all muffin cups, filling them about 2/3 full.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For a sweeter muffin, you can increase the amount of sugar. You can also substitute the cream cheese with a dairy-free alternative if needed.
