Cheesecake Pumpkin Muffins Recipe Rating 5

My mother-in-law came up with these tender treats by combining a few of her favorite muffin recipes. Chock-full of pumpkin, they feature both a sweet cream cheese filling and crunchy praline topping.

I wasn't so sure how these would turn out since there wasn't a picture for reference. They were amazing!!! The praline tops were such a great addition. My only suggestion would be to make a little more of the praline topping. :D GREAT RECIPE!!! One of my new favorites for sure!

made these with the intention of freezing them for morning coffee. however they were so good they never made it to the freezer. had them in the morning and for desert each day. easy to prepare. thanks for sharing a wonderful recipe. very moist and not too sweet, considering the amount of sugar used.
