Preparation

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, soda, pumpkin pie spice and salt. Whisk the eggs, pumpkin, milk, oil and 1 Tbsp. maple syrup; stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. Fold in pecans... In a small bowl beat cream cheese and 2 Tbsp. brown sugar and remaining maple syrup until smooth. Gently stir into batter until mixture appears swirled. Fill greased or paper-lined muffin cups about 3/4 full into 12 cups. Combine topping; spread over batter. Bake at 400 degrees F for 20-25 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
