Pumpkin Cheesecake Muffins

PRINT the recipe: bit.ly/3jsMcve
We all love that iconic pumpkin bread: thick slices of a moist, dense loaf. Well, these muffins are pumpkin bread for adults. Some whole wheat flour makes them slightly hearty and ribbons of cheesecake filling are swirled in. To make a muffin complete, I need a good dose of streusel. Pile on the streusel and enjoy! Besides, who does love a muffin? It’s the complete package!

INGREDIENTS
For the streusel topping:
- 1/3 cup whole wheat flour
- 1/3 cup rolled oats
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1/3 cup roasted pepitas (pumpkin seeds) or nut of choice, chopped
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 5 tbsp butter
For the cheesecake filling:
- 6 oz cream cheese, room temperature
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1 egg
For the pumpkin muffins:
- 1 cup pumpkin purée
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 2 eggs
- 2 tbsp molasses
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup flour
- 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp ground ginger
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- 1 tsp salt
INSTRUCTIONS
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
For the streusel topping:
- In a medium bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, oats, brown sugar, roasted pepitas, and cinnamon. Stir to evenly combine.
- Cut butter into small pieces and work into the mixture until it looks like wet sand, as would be done for pastry dough. Set aside.
For the cheesecake filling:
- In a small bowl, whisk the cream cheese, sugar, and egg until smooth with no lumps.
For the muffin batter:
- Prepare the batter in a large bowl. Whisk the pumpkin purée and brown sugar until smooth.
- Whisk in the eggs, oil, molasses, and vanilla until combined.
- Add the flours, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt. Whisk until just combined and no streaks of flour remain.
- Spray a 12-cup muffin tin with nonstick baking spray. Pour the prepared cheesecake batter into the muffin batter. Fold together sparingly until the mixture looks just swirled. Using a half-cup ice cream scoop, divide batter among the prepared muffin tins.
- Top with the prepared streusel.
- Bake in a preheated oven until puffed and set, 20-23 minutes.
- Once baked, remove from oven and cool 15 minutes on a cooling rack.

Actually originally butter was "cut in" by knife and fork as there was no pastry cutter invented way back. 😄

I grew up with the same mom and grandma you did, I'm glad to see you passing that mindset along

Thanks! I froze a bunch of pumpkin last fall and need to start using it up. I’m guessing this would work with butternut squash too.

These came out lovely, although I did not manage to get the cheesecake swirls (I thought they would come out but it all came together in the end). They were delicious anyways (even without the topping). Thank you for sharing!

[@lisagardner4814]

Can we use gluten free flours

[@malherlove]

[@alondrae143]
