Pumpkin Cheesecake Muffins

by

Great cake-like muffins with a surprise center filled with cheesecake!  These can be made without the cheesecake filling.  Still a fine pumpkin muffin.  Recipe will make either 6 Texas muffins or 12 regular-sized muffins!

Start by mixing the filling~

Assemble and measure the dry ingredients~
Mix together the dry ingredients~
Mix together the wet ingredients~

 

Prepare streusel crumbs~
Line or grease muffin tins (I use a Texas-style muffin pan)~

 

Fill each muffin cup with a scant 2 tbs of batter~
Tip from Sylvia:  Use an old-fashioned ice cream scoop to measure out muffin batter.  It’s quick, it’s clean and it creates uniformly-sized muffins~

 

 

Place about 2 tsp of the cream cheese filling in each muffin cup~

 

 

Cover each muffin with remaining batter and top with streusel crumbs~

 

 Baked, plated and ready to serve~

    These are heaven and disappear very fast. I've made without the filling too and they are very good and good keepers as well.
