Ingredients
Filling
·
1/3 cup cream cheese
·
1 large egg yolk
·
1/3 cup confectioners'
sugar
Topping
·
1/2 cup all-purpose
flour
·
1/4 cup packed light
brown sugar
·
3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
·
1/4 teaspoon salt
·
4 tablespoons cold
unsalted butter, cubed
Muffins
·
1 1/2 cups all-purpose
flour
·
1 teaspoon cinnamon
·
Pinch of freshly
grated nutmeg
·
Pinch of ground cloves
·
3/4 teaspoon baking
soda
·
1/2 teaspoon baking
powder
·
1/2 teaspoon salt
·
2 large eggs
·
1/2 cup packed light
brown sugar
·
1/2 cup vegetable oil
· 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
Directions
1. In a small bowl, mix all of the ingredients together. Cover and freeze until chilled, about 30 minutes.
2. In a bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon
and salt. Work in the butter with your fingers. Press the mixture into small
clumps. Refrigerate the topping until chilled, about 15 minutes.
3. Preheat the oven to 350° and line a 12-cup muffin tin
with paper or foil liners. In a medium bowl, whisk the flour with the cinnamon,
nutmeg, cloves, baking soda, baking powder and salt. In a large bowl, using an
electric mixer, beat the eggs with the brown sugar, oil and pumpkin puree. Beat
in the dry ingredients until evenly incorporated.
4. Spoon half of the batter into the prepared muffin
cups. Drop heaping teaspoons of the cream cheese filling in the center of each
cup and spoon the remaining batter on top. Sprinkle the crumb topping over the
batter. Bake for about 30 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center of
the muffins comes out clean. Let the muffins cool for 10 minutes before turning
them out onto a rack to cool completely.
Make Ahead
The
muffins can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3
days.
