Pumpkin Cream Cheese Swirl Muffins are exactly what they sound like – a moist pumpkin spiced muffin with a cream cheese swirl baked into the top. They taste great served at room temperature or even slightly chilled! You can store them for a few days in an airtight container in the fridge which means they are a great after school treat.

Then prepare the cream cheese swirl by beating together cream cheese with sugar, egg yolk and vanilla. Swirl the cheese mixture into the top of each muffin using a toothpick and bake.
