Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ground cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, and ground nutmeg.
  3. In another bowl, mix together the pumpkin puree, melted butter, brown sugar, egg, vanilla extract, sour cream, and buttermilk until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and stir gently until just combined.
  5. In a small bowl, combine cream cheese, white granulated sugar, all-purpose flour, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  6. Spoon half of the muffin batter into each lined muffin cup, add about one tablespoon of cream cheese filling on top, and then add more muffin batter to cover it completely.
  7. Sprinkle coarse sugar on top if desired before placing them in the oven. Bake for about 14 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let them cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
