Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a mini muffin tin with liners.

In another bowl, mix pumpkin, brown sugar, granulated sugar, oil, and egg.
Combine wet and dry ingredients until just mixed.
Beat cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
Fill muffin cups halfway with pumpkin batter. Add a teaspoon of cream cheese mixture and swirl with a toothpick.
