– 1 teaspoon baking soda

Instructions
1-Preheat and Prep: First, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners. This step ensures even baking and helps the muffins rise properly.
2-Making the Filling: Next, beat the cream cheese filling ingredients until smooth. In a bowl, mix 6 ounces of softened cream cheese with 4 tablespoons of powdered keto sweetener and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
3-Mixing the Batter: Then, combine the dry ingredients like 2 cups of almond flour, 2 teaspoons of pumpkin pie spice, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. In another bowl, whisk the wet ingredients including 1 cup of pumpkin puree, 2 eggs, 3/4 cup of granular keto sweetener, 1/4 cup of butter, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
4-Combining and Baking: Fold the wet mixture into the dry one gently, then fill the muffin cups and add the filling with a swirl. Bake for 18-22 minutes until set. Cool on a rack to finish.
