Pumpkin Cream Cheese Streusel Muffins step by step

Preheat oven to 350?F Fahrenheit. Line 18 muffin cups with paper liners or coat with non-stick spray..
For the filling…In a medium bowl mix softened cream cheese, 1 cup powdered sugar, 1/2 tsp cinnamon, 1 tsp vanilla until completely smooth. place in the refrigerator while preparing the remaining ingredients..
For the topping…in a small bowl, combine 4 tbs cold butter (it helps to cut it into cubes first), 1/4 each flour and brown sugar and cinnamon. Cut the butter in with a pastry cutter, fork or even your fingers until it resembles coarse sand. Its no big deal if there's a few larger bits of butter. Keep this in the refrigerator also while you're making the muffin batter..
For the muffins…sift together the flour, spices, salt and baking powder. Make sure the distribute everything evenly so you dont have clumps of spices. Set aside. In the bowl of a stand mixer or in a large mixing bowl with a hand held mixer, cream together both sugars, oil and eggs until light and very smooth. Add the pumpkin purée and vanilla and combine thoroghly. Add the sifted dry ingredients in 3 parts, mix well in between. you don't want to over mix but try to get as many lumps out as you can..
at this point you can either fill your prepared muffin tins 1/3 full with batter then put a tsp of your cream cheese filling in, then fill with more batter until the tins are about 2/3 full. or you can fill the tins 2/3 of the way with batter and out a tsp of filling right on top. just push it down slightly into the batter. Once all the tins are filled you can sprinkle the top with a couple of tsp of your streusel topping..
bake at 350°F for 20-25 min. cool in the tins for about 10 minutes then remove to a cooling rack to finish. these are delicious warm from the oven or can be kept in an airtight container..
this is my adaptation of a recipe I found on www.southerfood.com that I have changed it to my families liking..

I even got the cream cheese filling to work for the most part by trying it a different way for every group of six muffins(it wasn't a very BIG filling, but there was still a definite area that was just cream cheese).

Carefully add one tbsp of the cream cheese mixture right in the middle of the batter.

If you're using paper cups, try to keep cream cheese from touching the paper.

Beat in eggs, vegetable oil and vanilla extract.

Slowly whisk in the flour mixture, until there are no lumps.
