Ingredients
For the filling:
- 4 ounces cream cheese at room temperature
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
For the muffins:
- 2 cups white whole wheat flour 9 ounces or 255 grams
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt fine
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon cloves ground
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 3/4 dark brown sugar packed
- 3 tablespoons molasses unsulphered
- 1/4 cup applesauce
- 2 egg large
- 1 cup pumpkin puree canned
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 3/4 cup buttermilk
For the cinnamon-sugar topping:
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons butter melted and cooled
Instructions
To make the filling:
- Use an electric mixer to beat the cream cheese and sugar until very well combined and smooth. Refrigerate while making the muffins so the cream cheese can firm.
For the muffins:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Coat a standard two 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray or 15 paper liners.
- In a medium bowl whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg.
- In a large bowl whisk together the sugar, molasses, applesauce, and the eggs until well combined. Whisk in the pumpkin and vanilla until combined. Whisk in the flour and buttermilk in two alternating batches. Do not overmix.
- Fill each muffin cup with 1 to 2 tablespoons of batter, enough to cover the bottom. Dollop each cup with 1 heaping teaspoon of the cream cheese mixture. Fill each cup with the remaining batter, covering the cream cheese.
- Bake for 20 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack for 15 minutes before removing the muffins from the pan to cool completely.
To make the topping:
- In a small bowl combine the cinnamon and sugar. Dip each muffin top in the melted butter then roll in the cinnamon sugar mixture.
