CREAM CHEESE FILLED PUMPKIN MUFFINS
There's nothing I like better than a certain coffee chain's 'Pumpkin Spice Latte' and one of their 'Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffins.' I don't like paying the price, so I cloned them to the best of my ability at home.

Tips:
- Choose the right pumpkin: Use a sugar pumpkin or pie pumpkin for the best flavor and texture. Look for one that is small and has a deep orange color.
- Roast the pumpkin ahead of time: This will help to concentrate the flavor and make it easier to mash. You can roast the pumpkin in the oven or in a microwave.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the muffins tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Fill the muffin cups only 2/3 full: This will allow the muffins to rise properly and prevent them from overflowing.
- Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This usually takes about 20-25 minutes.
