These muffins were amazing!!!! Instead of putting the cream cheese inside, I made homemade, super easy cream cheese frosting from Cookie Dough Delights. Here is the recipe: 6oz softened cream cheese, 1/2 stick unsalted butter, softened, 1 teaspoon vanilla, and 1 3/4 cups sifted powdered sugar. Cool cupcakes in fridge and frost!! This frosting makes these cupcakes even better!! Enjoy

These muffins were so good!!! They were very moist and so light in texture. Not like your typical heavy overly sweet crumbly muffin you can buy in the store. Not too sweet but oh so yummy when you bite into the little cream cheese surprise in the middle. I made a mini variety by using a little mini muffin pan. They cooked for about 12-13 minutes and came out perfect. I found it kind of difficult to spoon the mixture into the tins without making a mess, so I improvised a pastry bag out of a plastic storage baggie and cutting off the tip, and used that to portion out the muffins. It worked like a dream!!!! I am bringing another batch to my in laws over Thanksgiving break to "WOW" them over morning coffee!!! Thank you!!!

These muffins had a nice taste and texture, but they lacked the flavour punch I would have liked. I think citrus would compliment the pumpkin nicely, and the next time I make these I'll experiment with adding some orange zest to the batter and/or cream cheese. I really liked the cream cheese. I originally gave these 3 stars, but they've grown on me with the 2nd eating spree.
