Time 1h

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
¼ teaspoon ground allspice
¼ teaspoon ground cloves
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
¼ teaspoon ground cardamom
½ teaspoon ground ginger
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon baking soda
1 cup packed dark brown sugar
2 eggs
½ cup vegetable oil
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 (15 ounce) can cooked pumpkin
4 ounces cream cheese
2 tablespoons sunflower seeds, as garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease 12 muffin cups or line with paper muffin liners.
  • Stir the flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, cloves, pumpkin pie spice, cardamom, ginger, salt, and baking soda together in a bowl.
  • Beat the brown sugar and the eggs together with an electric mixer in a large bowl until smooth. Add 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons vegetable oil and pumpkin; continue beating until integrated. Pour the flour mixture into the egg mixture and beat until just incorporated.
