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 are really so yummy. I will make these again and again. I found the best cream cheese to use is the cheesecake flavored one.

These were awesome!!! I replaced the oil with the applesauce and they were super moist and the flavor was amazing. I made these when I had family visiting and everyone raved about them.

I really liked the muffin part.The cream cheese part I didn't and I love c.cheese.It was too tangy,it didn't flow w/ the taste.Next time I will sweeten the c.cheese.I think I will also use applesauce instead of oil too. I also used half splenda and half sugar to cut down on sugar.All in all it is a great recipe will add it to my winter cooking.

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.

My husband hasn't had one yet but I am sure he is going to love them. I have cut about 60 calories per muffin but substituting 3/5th of the oil with applesauce, 1/4 of the sugar with sugar twin, and the cream cheese with reduced fat cream cheese. These muffins are nice and moist with a creamy cheese center.

These are fantastic! And I loved them even more when instead of baking cream cheese into the muffins I spread store-bought cream cheese frosting on top.

I made these muffins for a special dinner we had at my church. Every one of them was eaten, and I got SOOOO many compliments on them! I even made mini ones, with a smaller piece of cream cheese (obviously) and just cooked them for a shorter time...I didn't keep track of time, I just checked them with the cake tester until they were done. Anyway, I will definitely be making these again, only next time I will use more cream cheese so you get a little in every bite.

I added sugar and vanilla to the cream cheese and they were wonderfull. Lots of flavor. They freeze well too.
