  • 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • ½ tsp ground nutmeg
  • ½ tsp ground ginger
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup brown sugar

  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 egg yolk
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract

For the topping:

  • ½ cup Nutella

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and spices.
  • In a large bowl, mix granulated sugar, brown sugar, pumpkin puree, oil, eggs, and vanilla until smooth.
  • Gradually fold dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Do not overmix.
  • In another bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar, egg yolk, and vanilla until smooth and creamy.
  • Fill each muffin liner halfway with pumpkin batter.
  • Add a spoonful of cheesecake filling in the center.
  • Top with more pumpkin batter until ¾ full.
  • Add a small spoonful of Nutella on top and swirl gently with a toothpick.
  • Bake for 18–22 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the muffin (not the center) comes out clean.
  • Cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to keep muffins soft and fluffy.Make sure cream cheese is fully softened to avoid lumps.Swirl Nutella lightly for a marbled effect without mixing it into the batter.For best texture, serve slightly warm.
