1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and pumpkin pie spice.
3. In another bowl, mix the pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, eggs, sugar, and vanilla extract until well combined.
4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir until just combined.
5. In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and milk until smooth and creamy.
6. Fill each muffin cup halfway with the pumpkin batter.
7. Add a spoonful of the cream cheese mixture on top and swirl it with a toothpick to create a marble effect.

Enjoy!
