  • In a large bowl, beat the sugars, eggs, and olive oil for 1-2 minutes.
  • Add the pumpkin puree, pumpkin spice, and vanilla. Mix well, then fold in the flour mixture just until incorporated.
  • Divide the batter between the 12 muffin liners.
  • In either a separate bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the softened cream cheese, maple syrup, flour, and milk until smooth.
  • Pipe 1/2 tablespoon dollops in the centers of each muffin, then top with pumpkin seeds.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the centers comes out clean.
  • Let cool in the pan at least 5 minutes before enjoying with BUBBL’R cranberry grapefruit sparkl’r for a complementary refreshment!
