Pumkpin Cheesecake Muffins

I LOVE all things pumpkin; fall is by far my favorite time of year. Leaves, scarves, oversized sweaters, hoodies, boots, I could go on. The recent drop in temperature made me want to bake…

Well folks, I got a little crafty on my day off. I can’t take all the credit, Mama gave me some inspiration from one of her favorite cupcake recipes, which instead of a pumpkin base has a chocolate base but is equally as delicious.

Behold the easiest, yet very impressive recipe for a yummy pumpkin treat! People will never know that start to finish they take 20 minutes and nothing is from scratch.

Pumpkin Cheesecake Muffins

 

1 box spice cake mix

1 can pumpkin

1 8oz block of cream cheese

½ cup sugar

1 egg

 

 

 

 

Combine cake mix and pumpkin until well blended.

 

 

 

In a separate bowl, blend softened cream cheese, sugar, and egg with a whisk until smooth.

 

 

 

Portion pumpkin mix out equally in lined muffin tins (makes 24).

 

Top with cream cheese mixture.

Bake at 350 for 15 minutes.

I have also made this recipe using yellow cake mix, adding pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a pinch.
