Recipe: Pumpkin Muffins with Soft Center and Cream Cheese Frosting

Marian,

I do not have a recipe for the muffins you asked for, however this is what I would do. Make the muffins (recipe below). When they are cool cut the center out and fill with no-bake pumpkin pie filling (recipe below). Frost with cream cheese frosting (recipe below). These sound pretty good and now I think I will have to make them.

Good Luck,
Meg
