pumpkin spice muffins filled with maple cream cheese

The inspiration for these glorious fall muffins comes from an old Land O’Lakes cake recipe, which I often <a href="https://food52.com/recipes/38745-vermont-spice-pumpkin-cake">bake as 9-inch frosted layers</a>. Switching up the cake pans for a muffin tin and topping the result with a fragrant cinnamon streusel (instead of frosting) pulls them into breakfast territory, but the seasonal maple frosting is so luscious that it shouldn’t be missed; here, it’s piped inside the muffin for a mouthful of tangy goodness in each bite.
