For the filling:
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the cream cheese on medium high until smooth, about 1-2 minutes. Add in the granulated sugar, vanilla and egg and mix until combined. Add to a bowl and refrigerate until needed.
For the muffins:
- Add melted butter, oil, both sugars, vanilla extract and eggs to a large bowl. Whisk until evenly combined. Whisk in the pumpkin puree, then add the flour, baking soda, cinnamon pumpkin pie spice, milk and salt and whisk until evenly incorporated.
- Preheat the oven to 425°. Add muffin liners to a muffin pan. Scoop in muffin batter filing about ⅔ of the way full. Remove the filing from the fridge and place into a piping bag fitted with a medium round tip. Pipe about 2 tablespoons of filling into each muffin. Alternatively you can simply scoop the filling on top of the batter.
- Top with crumble and bake for 5 minutes. Without opening the oven, turn the heat down to 350° and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes or until baked through.
