Muffin Preparation
- In a large mixing bowl, combine pumpkin puree, melted butter, canola oil, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Beat in the eggs until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, pudding mix, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined.
- The batter should be thick and slightly lumpy.
Cream Cheese Filling
- In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar, all-purpose flour, milk, vanilla extract, and salt until silky smooth.
- Transfer the cream cheese mixture into a piping bag or ziplock bag for easy filling.
Baking
- Line a muffin tin with paper liners and preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Fill each muffin liner with batter and add cream cheese filling in the center.
- Top with pumpkin seeds and bake for 25-30 minutes, until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Cool in the tin for 5-10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes
Ensure ingredients are at room temperature for best results. Fill muffin liners nearly to the top for bakery-style muffins.
