Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffins (Starbucks Copycat)
Description
The Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffins copy a popular Starbucks recipe by combining a pumpkin-spiced batter of flour, sugar, baking powders, pumpkin puree, melted butter, vanilla, and egg. The batter is portioned into muffin liners about three-quarters full. A cream cheese filling blended from softened cream cheese, vanilla, flour, sugar, and milk is added on top before baking. As the muffins bake at 350°F, the cream cheese sinks slightly into the batter, creating a tender, creamy center within a moist pumpkin muffin exterior.
The pumpkin pie spice adds warmth and depth, harmonizing with the vanilla undertones in both batter and filling. Once baked, the muffins are golden and soft, suitable for breakfast or snack occasions. Optionally, oats can be sprinkled on top before baking for added texture. These muffins balance pumpkin's earthiness with sweet and tangy cream cheese, making them an appealing treat.
