Pumpkin Cheesecake Muffins
I didn’t get to indulge in my usual #MuffinMonday this week. Sadly I’ve had to deal with 2 sick kids plus I’m trying to get over a little cold/cough. It’s the season to share in a little more than just holiday spirit. I believe we are on the mend and this means I’ll be back in the kitchen, whipping up something great for you. I do have a muffin recipe that I wanted to share that I made a few weeks ago but didn’t get to post it. I’m so glad that I got to use up some pureed pumpkin that I had in the freezer.
I get so much junk mail delivered to my door, and I usually just recycle. But there was a flyer for a local business that caught my eye. The photograph on the flyer had me drooling. It had a recipe that looked so delicious, I went ahead and made it. And it was so good! I have no idea where the original recipe came from so I have no reference for it. But here it is!

These muffins disappeared in no time. The cream cheese was such a great companion for the pumpkin muffin.

I love pumpkin flavoured baked goods (sadly haven’t made too many yet this season) and these look amazing, very light and moist inside. I love the cheesecake topping – it looks so pretty and must taste phenomenal!
