you know the one like starbucks has...I've been asked to make these kind of muffins and have never made them before...I'm hoping that someone here on CC will have a kicka$$ recipe...thanks

I love these muffins, I used to work at Starbucks and this recipe is the closest I have found to tasting like them!

Pumpkin cheesecake muffins:
3 cups flour
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp ground cloves
4 tsp pumpkin pie spice
Pinch of cardamom (optional)
1 tsp salt
1 tsp soda
4 eggs
2 cups sugar
2 cups cooked or canned pumpkin
1 ¼ cups vegetable oil
8 oz package cream cheese
Chopped nuts* (walnuts, pecans) (optional)

P/H oven to 350. Mix ingredients together except cream cheese and nuts. Fill muffin tins (greased or paper cups) half full. Put 1-2 tsp cream cheese in the middle, pressing down. Sprinkle with 1 tsp chopped nuts. Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean from the muffin part (do not touch the cream cheese). Let cool in pans for 5 minutes, then remove to racks to cool completely. Do not touch the cream cheese until it cools, as it is very very hot. Makes 24 muffins.

*Starbucks uses chopped pumpkin seeds, if you can find them. I like Walnuts, but any kind of nut will work
