CREAM CHEESE FILLED PUMPKIN MUFFINS
There's nothing I like better than a certain coffee chain's 'Pumpkin Spice Latte' and one of their 'Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffins.' I don't like paying the price, so I cloned them to the best of my ability at home.

Steps:
- Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease 12 muffin cups or line with paper muffin liners.
- Stir the flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, cloves, pumpkin pie spice, cardamom, ginger, salt, and baking soda together in a bowl.
- Beat the brown sugar and the eggs together with an electric mixer in a large bowl until smooth. Add 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons vegetable oil and pumpkin; continue beating until integrated. Pour the flour mixture into the egg mixture and beat until just incorporated.
- Fill the prepared muffin cups about half-full with the batter. Spoon about 1 teaspoon cream cheese into the center of each muffin cup and poke it down into the middle of the batter with a finger. Sprinkle the sunflower seeds over each muffin.
- Bake in the preheated oven until golden and the tops spring back when lightly pressed, about 25 minutes. Let cool in pan 5 minutes and remove to a rack to cool completely. Be extra careful; the cream cheese stays hot for a while!

- Mix cream cheese with one egg and 3 tablespoons of sugar. Put the entire mixture on a piece of wax paper or parchment paper and shape it into a long log.
- Put it in the freezer while you mix and fill the pans, up to an hour.

PUMPKIN CREAM-CHEESE MUFFINS
The little bits of cream cheese in these warmly spiced pumpkin muffins make for a rich and creamy treat that's sweet and a little savory. The streusel on top is optional, but worth giving a try: It takes only a few minutes to put together, and adds an extra boost of cinnamon and a crisp texture to the top. Enjoy these muffins warm with a cup of tea for the perfect fall snack.

Steps:
- Place a rack in the center of the oven and heat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 12-cup standard muffin tin with paper liners.
- Make the streusel: In a small bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cinnamon and salt. Add the butter, then pinch the butter into the flour mixture with your fingertips until the mixture looks sandy with small crumbs and is evenly moistened.
- Make the muffins: In a large bowl combine the butter and sugar, and whisk to combine. Add the eggs, and mix until emulsified. Add the pumpkin purée, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, allspice and salt. Whisk until combined and smooth.
- Add the flour, baking powder and baking soda, and use a rubber spatula to stir until almost combined - a streak or two of flour is OK. Use your fingers to break up the cream cheese into roughly teaspoon-size bits, and sprinkle them onto the batter.
- Fold in the cream cheese until evenly distributed and no streaks of flour remain. Divide the mixture among the 12 liners; they will be almost full to the top. Divide the streusel over the tops of the muffins, if using.
- Bake the muffins until puffed and golden, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean,19 to 23 minutes. Store leftover muffins in the refrigerator in an airtight container, and warm slightly before serving.
PUMPKIN MUFFINS WITH STREUSEL & CREAM CHEESE GLAZE
Picking up a muffin at Dunkin' is a treat, and now they can be made at home. These muffins are fabulous! They're not overly sweet, moist, tender, and full of pumpkin flavor. We loved the streusel on top. It adds sweetness to the muffin and a burst of cinnamon flavor. Drizzling a cream cheese glaze on top makes these easy muffins...

Steps:
- 1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a 12 tin muffin pan with liners.
- 2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flours, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice, and salt.
- 3. In a large bowl, combine pumpkin, egg, canola oil, applesauce, buttermilk, and vanilla. Mix until smooth.
- 4. Gradually incorporate the dry into the wet ingredients in batches. Be sure NOT to overmix! Overmixing results in dry muffins. You should still have a slightly lumpy batter, as seen in the above photo.
- 5. Fill each muffin liner 3/4 of the way full.
- 6. Now, prepare your streusel. Combine sugars, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a small bowl. Add in melted butter and then add flour in batches - working the mixture with your hands until all is incorporated. The end result should be crumbly.
- 7. Add streusel evenly over unbaked muffins.
- 8. Bake for 23 - 25 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow muffins to cool completely.
- 9. To prepare the glaze: beat softened cream cheese with confectioners' sugar and vanilla. Add milk, one Tbsp at a time, until the right consistency is achieved.
- 10. Using a spoon, drizzle evenly over cooled muffins. Refrigerate to retain freshness if not serving right away.
- 11. Note: If you're concerned about the extra calories in the toppings, you can make the muffins "naked". They are actually quite healthy and clock in at less than 200 calories a serving. But, in my (muffin) opinion: Go Streusel or Go Home!

Steps:
- To prepare the filling, combine the cream cheese and powdered sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer and whip until smooth. Form into a log on plastic wrap or foil, making sure that the diameter is small enough to fit into the well of a muffin pan. Wrap the log up tightly and freeze until slightly hardened, 1-2 hours. (I only let it sit in the freezer while I made the rest of the recipe. The log was soft when I cut it, but it still worked well. Just a little messy).
- To make the muffins, combine the flour, spices, salt and baking soda in a medium bowl. Mix well and set aside. In the bowl of an electric mixer, combine the eggs, oil, sugar and pumpkin puree. Mix until well combined. Add in the dry ingredients and mix on low speed until just combined.
- To make the streusel topping, combine all ingredients in a small bowl. Mix together with a pastry blender or two forks until crumbly.
- Preheat the oven to 350°. Line two muffin pans with paper liners. To assemble the muffins, fill each muffin well halfway with batter. Remove the cream cheese log from the freezer and slice into 24 equal slices. Place a slice in each muffin well. Divide the remaining muffin batter evenly among the muffin cups, on top of the cream cheese. Sprinkle the streusel topping over the top of the batter. Bake for 20-25 minutes.

PUMPKIN MUFFINS WITH CREAM CHEESE CENTER
I wanted a muffin that included cream cheese, all in one muffin, that I could make and then freeze so I came up with this recipe. Easy to make and freeze, then take out in the morning before getting ready to allow to defrost. You could also wrap in foil and pop it/them in the oven to warm up or in the microwave (wrapped in papertowel) on defrost level. Note: If you want the cream cheese to have a sweeter flavor, add 1/4 cup sugar to softened cream cheese.

PUMPKIN CREAM CHEESE MUFFINS W/PECAN STREUSEL

Steps:
- Make Filling a few hours before you begin your muffins. For Filling: In a medium bowl, blend cinnamon and sugar. Add softened cream cheese, mix until smooth. Add Vanilla, stir until combined. Form the mixture into a 14 inch log on a piece of plastic wrap, wrap it, and FREEZE it for at least 2 hours. While it was in the freezer, I formed mine into more of square shaped log when it became more shapeable. (My first try I tried wrapping it in wax paper....I don't recommend this at all. The filling stuck to the paper even after it was frozen. ) When frozen, Slice into 14-1 inch squares
- Before making the Pecan Streusel, combine the vanilla and the cinnamon with a fork in a small (very small) to make a paste; I did mine as I made the filling. Set it aside to air dry (Just trust me on this, it gives the cinnamon a unique warm flavor unlike mixing them separately to the recipe). Blend together all the dry ingredients (including the vanilla infused cinnamon), mix in butter until well combined. Set aside.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees, Line jumbo muffin tin (s) with paper liners; set aside.
- For Muffins: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, pumpkin pie spice, salt and baking soda. In a large bowl combine eggs, sugar, pumpkin puree, oil, and vanilla. Mix until well blended on medium-low speed. With the mixer on LOW speed, gradually add the dry ingredients until just combined.
- To assemble muffins: Fill each muffin well with 2 T of batter (or just enough to cover the bottom). Place a slice of filling into each of the cups. Divide the remaining batter among the muffin cups to completely cover the filling slices. Spoon streusel topping over each of the cups. (Be fairly generous as it will form a nice crispy muffin top). Gently press the streusel down into the wet muffin mixture so it adheres to the muffin. Bake for 30-35 minutes. (Now your home will smell amazing) Remove from oven, let cool in pan for 5 minutes before placing them onto wire racks to cool completely.
- *Warning, don't dig in too quickly , the cream cheese filling can/will burn you!* I was VERY skeptical of the filling process as I thought it would totally melt into the muffin and make it mush. I was pleasantly surprised when I bit into my muffin and had all the filling still in its place and nicely incorporated into the muffin.

Steps:
- Yield: 24 muffins Directions: To prepare the filling, combine the cream cheese and confectioners' sugar in a medium bowl and mix well until blended and smooth. Transfer the mixture to a piece of plastic wrap and shape into a log about 1½-inches in diameter. Smooth the plastic wrap tightly around the log, and reinforce with a piece of foil. Transfer to the freezer and chill until at least slightly firm, at least 2 hours. To make the muffins, preheat the oven to 350˚ F. Line muffin pans with paper liners. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, pumpkin pie spice, salt and baking soda; whisk to blend. In the bowl of an electric mixer combine the eggs, sugar, pumpkin puree and oil. Mix on medium-low speed until blended. With the mixer on low speed, add in the dry ingredients, mixing just until incorporated. To make the topping, combine the sugar, flour and cinnamon in a small bowl; whisk to blend. Add in the butter pieces and cut into the dry ingredients with a pastry blender or two forks until the mixture is coarse and crumbly. Transfer to the refrigerator until ready to use. To assemble the muffins, fill each muffin well with a small amount of batter, just enough to cover the bottom of the liner (1-2 tablespoons). Slice the log of cream cheese filling into 24 equal pieces. Place a slice of the cream cheese mixture into each muffin well. Divide the remaining batter among the muffin cups, placing on top of the cream cheese to cover completely. Sprinkle a small amount of the topping mixture over each of the muffin wells. Bake for 20-25 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely before serving. (It may be hard to resist immediate consumption, but the cream cheese filling gets very hot!)
