Now that Summer is behind us… it’s that wonderful time of year where it’s all about the comfort food! Keto Pumpkin Cheesecake Muffins is the perfect balance of fall spices and rich cream cheese packed into a yummy keto muffin!
Bring the pumpkin spice and everything nice back to your keto/low carb kitchen this fall with this easy, “not your basic” Pumpkin Cheesecake Muffins!
Fall is my favorite season.. the smells, cooler weather, falling leaves and PUMPKIN!
So I came up with this super easy Keto Pumpkin Cheesecake Muffins because I want all my friends to share on the pumpkin fun too!
With the perfect balance of fall spices and rich cream cheese.. these muffins are not your basic pumpkin muffins!
Let’s get started!
HOW TO MAKE KETO PUMPKIN CHEESECAKE MUFFINS
For the Sugar free Cheesecake Filling:
We need to combine 8 ounces softened cream cheese with ¼ cup of powdered Lakanto Sweetener. Mix it together in a mixing bowl with an electric mixer and set that aside.
Now, let’s preheat your oven to 350F and line a 12 cup cupcake tin with liners.
Make sure to spray the inside of the liners with cooking spray because these muffins are so moist they might stick!
Now, in a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, granulated lakanto and baking soda.
Once you’re finished with that now add in the pumpkin puree, melted butter, vanilla and eggs.
Mix into a smooth batter.
Divide evenly into the muffins cups. I like to use an ice cream scoop to do this.
Now spoon in the cream cheese mixture evenly on top of the pumpkin mixture. The muffin liners will be completely full.
Swirl the batter with a toothpick or a butter knife.
Bake in your preheated oven for 25 minutes.
Warning! Your house will smell amazing!
Remove from the oven and let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
You won’t believe your tastebuds with these sweet and spicy muffins!

So good! I love this recipe. Thank you
Do you think it would be a good idea to replace the pumpkin with strawberry purée and instead of the harvest spice mix add strawberry extract? For a strawberry creamcheese cupcake? I wonder if that would work.
Shelley says
I have made this muffins 3 times and love them! I first made the recipe as written and they were great. I then made a couple of additions on subsequent batches. I added a half tsp. more cinnamon and included 1/4 tsp. of ground ginger. I also added a tsp of vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture. Thanks so much for this great recipe Jennifer.

OMG, Jenn, I am almost 70 years old AND 50 POUNDS over weight. I am not totally doing Keto, more of a hunter/gatherer diet but I love your site and your muffins have saved me from snacking on bad stuff. I will be trying many of your recipes and THANK YOU, for helping all of us!!!!
Flor says
These cupcakes were SOOOOooo good. Thank you so much for sharing!! I’d make them again for sure.
Only thing I did differently was not stir the cheesecake batter as good as you did. I saw the video when they were already baking. Still very good.
Wish I could share my pic.

These are sinfully good but without the guilt! Even my 4 year old enjoyed.

Melissa says
We have been making the keto chocolate chip muffins (fantastic recipe btw) every week for a few months now, today we changed it up to make these pumpkin cheesecake muffins… OMG!!! This was pure deliciousness. Moist and flavorful, I get like I was eating something I shouldn’t. We decided we will alternate weeks between the two. Thanks for such great recipes.
Atina says

Stephanie says
Im new to keto and low carb baking in general and A bit confused as to why the nutritional facts says 6 g of carbs per serving but I noticed in the comments that each serving has 4g carbs ,can someone please clarify ,Im Wanting to make these for a diabetic family member and really want to get the carb count right thank you so much??
jenniferbanz says
They are 3 net carbs. 6g carbs – 3 grams fiber
Chau says
Absolutely amazing! Made these tonight and they couldn’t be any better. The true test was when my husband went back for another one. Thank you so so much for sharing this recipe!!
Ella says
I’ve made these 3x now and they are great — perfect for breakfasts on the go! I use a half dozen muffin pan so they are more “jumbo” size (at 6 net carbs each), and they freeze well too. Thank you for the recipe!
Ket0 says
Dumb question — should these be stored in the fridge?? I never know! Thank you, made them twice now and they are great.
jenniferbanz says
yes, I would store them in the fridge

Girlllll these were bomb! You’re amazing. Like these muffins.
jenniferbanz says
So happy to hear that!
Heather says
WOW! I struggle with most dessert type keto recipes but this is fantastic! Moist, tasty, easy to make. I’m a sugar junkie from way back and it doesn’t really satisfy that sugar hit desire but it’s pretty darn close!
jenniferbanz says
So happy to hear that!
Nichole Stevens-Ahmad says
Would this be 3 net carbs per serving? wondering if there are any sugar alcohols I would need to subtract out as well, or if it would just be the fibre.
thanks!
jenniferbanz says
Yes, 3 net carbs. The sugar alcohol has already been subtracted
Desiree says
I made your Keto Cheesecake for guests and everyone LOVED IT! It was worth all the steps!
I’d like to make the same crust with a pumpkin pie cheesecake filling. Do you think this pumpkin recipe would work?
Thanks for your site! I can’t wait to try more of your recipes 🙂
jenniferbanz says
I think it would work and you just gave me an idea!
Ashley says
I made these for guests visiting that eat keto and everyone loved them!
Beth says
I’ll take a dozen or 3 of these! They look so flavorful and creamy!!
Kelsie says
Just made these and they turned out delicious! Even my husband who usually snubs all things pumpkin enjoyed them. Thank you!
Priya Aurora says
Omg it looks so yummy! Love the cheesy texture inside. Can’t wait to try them…I will definitely make them for Halloween for my family. Happy fall!
Kristie Clark says
Can I use granulated and powdered Stevia instead of the Lakanto Sweetener?
jenniferbanz says
yes! As long as it is a 1 for 1 substitute for sugar
Jeff says
8 oz cream cheese & 1/4 cup artificial sweetener
Jennifer says
Can you substitute Coconut Flour for the Almond Flour?
jenniferbanz says
No sorry, coconut flour would not work
Arena says
Can’t wait to make this but how much cream cheese and powered sweetener do we use. Was the cream cheese included in the nutritional breakdown?
jenniferbanz says
Sorry about that, Arena. I fixed the recipe to include those ingredients and the nutrition info was correct and does include the cream cheese.
Nance says
How much cream cheese do you use? It says “combine the cream cheese” and sweetener, but cream cheese is not even listed in the recipe ingredients.
jenniferbanz says
I have added it to the recipe, sorry!
Glen Agrade says
How much cream cheese? It’s not listed.
jenniferbanz says
Sorry, Glen! I added that to the recipe
Jana says
This looks amazing – I did not see an amount of ‘Cream Cheese’ so I’m guess about 8 oz???? I would love to make these this week for get together.
jenniferbanz says
yes, 8 ounces. Sorry about that!
