Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.

  3. In another bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, pumpkin pie spice, and a pinch of salt.
  4. Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture, folding gently until just combined.
  5. In a separate bowl, mix cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  6. Scoop half the muffin batter into each prepared muffin cup, add cream cheese filling on top, and cover with remaining batter.
  7. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
  8. Allow muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
