Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffins (Like Starbucks)

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 350.

2. 2

   Mix cream cheese with one egg and 3 tablespoons of sugar. Put the entire mixture on a piece of wax paper or parchment paper and shape it into a long log.

3. 3

   Put it in the freezer while you mix and fill the pans, up to an hour.

4. 4

   Unwrap and cut with a sharp knife so each cream cheese disk equals 1-2 teaspoons. If the cream cheese disks are too big around, cut thick slices and then cut them in half. This lets you push it down into the batter easier.

5. 5

   Mix all ingredients together (except cream cheese and nuts).

6. 6

   Fill muffin tins (greased or paper cups) half full.

7. 7

   Put cream cheese disc in the middle, pressing down.

8. 8

   Sprinkle with 1 tsp chopped nuts.

9. 9

   Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean from the muffin part (do not touch the cream cheese!).

10. 10

    Let cool in pans for 5 minutes, then remove to racks to cool completely. Do not touch the cream cheese until it cools.
