Instructions

  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  5. In a separate bowl, beat together the cream cheese, egg, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and kosher salt until smooth.
  6. Fill each muffin liner halfway with the pumpkin batter, then add a spoonful of cream cheese filling, and top with more pumpkin batter until the cups are three-quarters full.
  7. Sprinkle the tops with coarsely chopped pepitas and a pinch of Demerara sugar.
  8. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  9. Allow to cool slightly before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

For extra moisture, ensure not to overmix the batter; blend until just combined. These muffins can be stored in an airtight container for up to three days.
