Pumpkin Cream Cheese Swirl Muffins


I had been wanting a good moist pumpkin muffin.  I found this recipe and it is wonderful.  You swirl in cream cheese and cream cheese makes everything better.  ;)

1 3/4 cup flour
1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1-15 ounce can pumpkin
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 large eggs
1/2 cup oil
1 tablespoon vanilla

Filling:
8 ounces cream cheese
1/4 cup sugar
1 large egg yolk
2 teaspoons vanilla

Preheat oven to 375
In a medium bowl which flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda and salt until well combined.  Set aside. 
In a large bowl whisk pumpkin, sugar and brown sugar.  Beat in eggs, oil and vanilla.  Slowly whisk in flour mixture until there are no lumps.  Put muffin cups in a muffin tin and fill 3/4 full.
In a medium bowl beat cream cheese until smooth and add egg yolk, sugar and vanilla and mix well.  Top each muffin with 1 tablespoon of cream cheese mixture.  Then use a toothpick to swirl into the batter.  Bake for 18-20 minutes and store in an air tight container in the refrigerator.
