Calories: 180 kcal (approx.)

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 2/3 cup + 2 tbsp granulated monk fruit or Swerve, divided
  • 4 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups almond flour
  • 1/2 cup coconut flour
  • 4 tsp baking powder
  • 2 1/2 tsp pumpkin spice
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a muffin pan or line it with paper muffin cups.
  2. Cream Butter and Sweetener: In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter with 2/3 cup of the sweetener until light and fluffy.
  3. Add Wet Ingredients: Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, mix in the pumpkin puree and vanilla extract.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, pumpkin spice, and salt. Ensure there are no lumps in the flour.
  5. Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients: Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir until just combined. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups.
  6. Prepare Cream Cheese Swirl: In a small bowl, stir together the softened cream cheese and remaining 1 tbsp of sweetener until smooth.
  7. Add the Swirl: Place a generous tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture on top of each muffin. Use the tip of a butter knife or a toothpick to swirl the batter and cream cheese together for a marbled effect.
  8. Bake: Bake the muffins for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Cool and Serve: Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
