Category: Muffins
    Prep Time:       Cook Time:       Total Time:  

Filling (Double this amount if you really love cream cheese.):
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup confectioners sugar
1 tbsp vanilla

Streusel:
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup pecans, chopped finely
3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
1/2 tsp cinnamon

Pumpkin Batter:
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 tbsp pumpkin pie spice
2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/4 cups solid-pack pumpkin (or 1 1/4 cups fresh pumpkin puree, drained)
3 eggs, lightly beaten
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Heat oven to 350. Grease two 12-cup standard muffin tins or use paper liners. Set aside.

For the Cream Cheese Filling: In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese and confectioners sugar until smooth. Add the vanilla, and blend to combine. Form the mixture into a log on a piece of plastic wrap, wrap it, and freeze it for about an hour.

For the Pecan Streusel: In a medium bowl, combine flour, sugar, pecans, butter, and cinnamon. Set aside.

For the Pumpkin Batter: Combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and spices in a large bowl.

In a medium bowl, lightly beat the pumpkin, eggs, oil, and vanilla.

Make a well in the center of the flour mixture, and pour the pumpkin mixture into the well. Mix with a fork just until moistened.

Remove the cream cheese from the freezer, and divide it into 24 slices.

Evenly divide half of the batter among the muffin cups. Place 1 slice of the cream cheese log right in the center of each cup, pressing the cream cheese gently into the batter without submerging it. Fill with the remaining batter.

Sprinkle some of the pecan streusel on top of each muffin.

Bake until golden, about 20 to 25 minutes. Cool on wire racks.
