List of Ingredients




Filling:
1 (8-oz.) pkg. cream cheese
1 egg
1 tsp. vanilla extract
3 tbsp. brown sugar

Streusel Topping:
4 1/2 tbsp. all-purpose flour
5 tbsp. white sugar
3/4 tsp. ground cinnamon
3 tbsp. butter
3 tbsp. chopped pecans

Muffin Batter:
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups white sugar
2 tsp. baking powder
2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp. salt
2 eggs
1 1/3 cups canned pumpkin
1/3 cup olive oil
2 tsp. vanilla extract

Recipe



1. Preheat oven to 375�F (190�C). Grease and flour 18 muffin cups, or use paper liners.

2. To make the filling: In a medium bowl, beat cream cheese until soft. Add egg, vanilla and brown sugar. Beat until smooth, then set aside.

3. For the streusel topping: In a medium bowl, mix flour, sugar, cinnamon and pecans. Add butter and cut it in with a fork until crumbly. Set aside.

4. For the muffin batter: In a large bowl, sift together flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. Make a well in the center of flour mixture and add eggs, pumpkin, olive oil and vanilla. Beat together until smooth.

5. Place pumpkin mixture in muffin cups about 1/2 full. Then add 1 tbsp. of the cream cheese mixture right in the middle of the batter. Try to keep cream cheese from touching the paper cup. Sprinkle on the streusel topping.

6. Bake at 375�F (195�C) for 20 to 25 minutes.
