Tips

If making large muffins, bake for 30-35 minutes.


Directions

FILLING: Combine cream cheese and sugars in a medium bowl and mix until well blended and smooth. Refrigerate mixture while you prepare muffins to allow it to cool and thicken slightly.

MUFFINS: In a medium bowl, combine the flour, protein powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, pumpkin pie spice, salt and baking soda; whisk to blend. In a large bowl using an electric mixer on medium-low speed combine the eggs, sugar, pumpkin puree, unsweetened applesauce, and oil until blended. Turn mixer to low and add dry ingredients, mix just until blended. Preheat oven to 350 F and line or spray your muffin tins. Fill each muffin pan with just enough batter to cover the bottom of each well (1 TBS). Scoop a small amount of the cream cheese mixture into each muffin well and then top each with the remaining batter covering the cream cheese completely. Bake for 20-25 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely before serving.
