For the Cream Cheese Filling:
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered erythritol or your preferred keto-friendly sweetener

Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and pumpkin spice. Ensure there are no lumps.
- In another bowl, mix the pumpkin puree, granulated erythritol, eggs, melted butter or coconut oil, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until a smooth batter forms.
- In a separate bowl, prepare the cream cheese filling. Beat together the softened cream cheese, powdered erythritol, and vanilla extract until it’s smooth and creamy.
- Scoop a spoonful of the pumpkin batter into each muffin cup, filling each about 1/3 full.
- Add a dollop (about a teaspoon) of the cream cheese mixture on top of the pumpkin batter in each cup.
- Cover the cream cheese layer with more pumpkin batter, filling each muffin cup about 2/3 full.
- Optional: You can sprinkle some additional pumpkin spice or a keto-friendly sweetener on top of each muffin for added flavor and decoration.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, enjoy your Keto Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffins as a delightful keto-friendly snack or breakfast option.
These muffins are not only keto-friendly but also packed with the delicious flavors of pumpkin and cream cheese, making them a perfect treat for the fall season.
