Ingredients

  • 1. 1 ½ cups of versatile all-purpose flour
  • 2. A teaspoon of aromatic ground cinnamon
  • 3. A touch of earthy ground nutmeg
  • 4. Dash of warming ground allspice
  • 5. Pinch of aromatic ground cloves
  • 6. A hint of festive pumpkin pie spice
  • 7. Sprinkle of exotic ground cardamom
  • 8. A dash of zesty ground ginger
  • 9. A pinch of salt
  • 10. A dash of baking soda
  • 11. 1 cup of rich dark brown sugar
  • 12. Two farm-fresh eggs
  • 13. ½ cup of nourishing vegetable oil
  • 14. Two tablespoons of vegetable oil
  • 15. A can (15 ounces) of cooked pumpkin
  • 16. 4 ounces of creamy cream cheese
  • 17. Two tablespoons of sunflower seeds for garnish

Step 1

Begin by preheating the oven to a toasty 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and prepare a 12-cup muffin tin by either greasing it or lining it with paper liners for easy cleanup afterward.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine a delightful array of spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, cloves, pumpkin pie spice, cardamom, ginger, along with flour, salt, and baking soda. Blend them together for a fragrant and flavorful base.

Step 3

In a separate large bowl, use an electric mixer to combine the brown sugar and eggs until they form a smooth mixture. Slowly add in the vegetable oil and pumpkin, continuing to mix until everything is well combined. Gently fold in the flour mixture until just mixed, being careful not to overmix.

Step 4

Next, fill each prepared muffin cup halfway with the batter. Create a surprise element by adding a dollop of cream cheese in the center of each cup, gently pressing it into the batter. Sprinkle a handful of sunflower seeds on top of each muffin for a crunchy twist.

Step 5

Bake the muffins in the preheated oven until they turn a lovely golden hue and bounce back when lightly touched, usually around 25 minutes. Allow them to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack. Remember to handle with care as the cream cheese filling can remain hot for some time after baking.

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. 1. To keep your savory pumpkin muffins moist and delicious, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
  2. 2. For longer storage, place the muffins in the refrigerator in a sealed container or zip-top bag. They will stay fresh for up to 5 days.
