Ingredients
  

Equipment

  • mixing bowl
  • whisk
  • muffin tin
  • oven
  • wire rack

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease well with non-stick spray.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together almond flour, coconut flour, erythritol, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine eggs, pumpkin puree, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
  4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until fully combined and a thick batter forms.
  5. In a small bowl, prepare the cream cheese filling by mixing softened cream cheese, erythritol, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  6. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the muffin batter into each prepared muffin cup, filling them halfway.
  7. Add a small dollop (about 1 teaspoon) of the cream cheese filling to the center of each muffin cup.
  8. Top each muffin with another spoonful of batter to cover the cream cheese filling, filling the cups about 3/4 full.
  9. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are set and a toothpick inserted into the muffin (avoiding the cream cheese center) comes out clean.
  10. Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For best results, use room-temperature cream cheese for the filling. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
