Instructions
- For the filling, combine the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar in a medium bowl and mix well until blended and smooth. Spoon mixture into a ziplock bag, snip off a corner, and pipe 24 dollops of filling onto a parchment, foil, or wax paper lined cookie sheet. Freeze for a few hours, or overnight.
- In a medium bowl, combine dry ingredients and 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. Add in the cut butter pieces and cut into the dry ingredients with a pastry blender or two forks until the mixture is coarse and crumbly.
- To assemble the muffins, fill each paper liner with a small amount of batter, just enough to cover the bottom of the liner (1-2 tablespoons). Place a frozen dollop 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 muffins.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool a bit before serving. Makes 24 muffins.
