Pumpkin Cream Muffins


I was really in the mood for something pumpkin-y this morning. I thought about making my pumpkin bread, (it's SO good) but it has three cups of sugar in it, so I passed. I made these delicious muffins instead. I found the recipe in a free Kindle for PC book called Gooseberry Patch Classics: Pumpkin. It has tons of different recipes for pumpkin.

Ingredients
1-1/3 c. sugar, divided
1-1/4 c. all-purpose flour
2 t. cinnamon 1
 t. baking soda
1/2 t. salt
3 eggs, divided
3/4 c. oil
1 c. canned pumpkin
 8-oz. pkg. cream cheese, softened

Instructions
Combine one cup sugar, flour, cinnamon, baking soda, salt, 2 eggs, oil and pumpkin; set aside. In a separate bowl, blend together cream cheese, remaining sugar and remaining egg. Pour pumpkin mixture into greased muffin cups, filling 2/3 full. Place a heaping teaspoon of cream cheese filling in the center of each muffin. Sprinkle each with one teaspoon topping mixture. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 to 18 minutes. Makes 1-1/2 dozen muffins.

Topping
1/4 c. sugar
1/4 t. cinnamon
3 T. all-purpose flour
2 T. butter

Combine all ingredients until crumbly.
