Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt.
In a separate bowl, combine sugar, oil, pumpkin puree, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix well.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
In a small bowl, prepare the cream cheese swirl by mixing together softened cream cheese, sugar, egg yolk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Fill each muffin liner about 2/3 full with pumpkin batter.
Spoon a dollop of cream cheese mixture on top of each muffin.
Use a knife or toothpick to swirl the cream cheese into the pumpkin batter.
Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For extra flavor, add chocolate chips or chopped nuts to the pumpkin batter.
Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
