Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground ginger
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground cloves
• 1 cup Pumpkin puree
• 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.25 cup Whole milk
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 4 ounces Cream cheese
• 0.25 cup Powdered sugar
• 0.5 cup Chopped pecans (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 4

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

In a small bowl, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy. Set aside.

Step 6

Spoon the muffin batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full.

Step 7

Using a spoon or piping bag, add a dollop of the cream cheese mixture to the center of each muffin. Use a toothpick to gently swirl the cream cheese into the batter if desired.

Step 8

Sprinkle chopped pecans over the top of each muffin (if using).

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 18–22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the muffin (avoiding the cream cheese) comes out clean.

Step 10

Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy your homemade Tim Hortons Pumpkin Spice Muffins!
