Tips and Tricks
In order to have the cream cheese filling remain compact, place the cream cheese filling into the fridge for about 30 minutes and then use after.
But if the cream cheese filling is too soft and runny which is Saturnalia common in me then you can add more flour or powdered sugar depending on the filling consistency.
In order to achieve the best outcome, get the canned pumpkin puree different from the pumpkin pie filling since the latter has more preservatives and results in a worse consistency.
These muffins should be stored at room temperature for up to 72 hours depending on how they are wrapped or in the fridge for up to one week. It also holds well in the freezer for about 2 months. Just let them thaw at the room’s temperature and then serve them.
