AMAZING! I doubled the crumble topping and I also added an extra cup of pumpkin and a dash of nutmeg. Overall they were better than Starbucks. Thanks for sharing this recipe.

These muffins were great. I increased the recipe slightly to get 12 muffins,m since it says 8-10, and I wish I hadnt because I ended up with 20 larrrgeeee muffins LOL. I guess there was enough in what is stated in the recipe to make more than 12... The flavors are good, but the cheese mixture, for me, was too runny to keep it from touching the sides of the paper, so it wasnt exactly all in the center. Overall they taste very good and are very appealing to the eye :) Thanks!

Good taste and not dry. I also prepared extra topping. (If you're going to go for it, go for it.) We like the surprise filling especially if you're not expecting it. Next time I will try my homemade pumpkin pie spice in this recipe. Thanks for sharing! cg

Made these for breakfast this morning. They are only slightly time consuming, yet easy. The pumpkin taste is slight as is the cream cheese, which is what ti like the most, nothing overwhelming, just a nice simple blend of flavors. I did make an extra "half" of the topping and was glad I did as it was perfect to cover all the muffins. I also got 18 regular size muffins. Later in the day I ate one and liked it even more. The flavors have had time to blend and are very moist.
