Pumpkin Swirl Muffins

I absolutely love recipes with pumpkin… pumpkin pie, pumpkin soup, pumpkin bread and of course, pumpkin muffins! These muffins are baked with a delightful pumpkin cheesecake swirl. They are perfect for your family or that fall party you’ve been invited to. Arrange them in a basket covered with a cute hand towel for gifting to friends!

    These muffins are sure to taste good at room temperature or fresh out of the oven. They look so delectable. This will make for a fun fall breakfast. I may even frost them with cream cheese icing!

    Thanks for sharing this recipe. Like pumpkin in food as long as it doesn’t have a lot of spices. These muffins look so good

    I love the idea of a cheesecake swirl in muffins! For me, I’d have to leave the pumpkin out because it’s not my fave thing.
