I love pumpkin.
I love muffins.
I love coffee.
I love the combination of all of the above.
Why not put them all in a muffin?
Starbucks pumpkin cream cheese muffins are my arch nemisis. I can't resist them, but I usually don't go to Starbucks. The one time I've been in this fall I left with one of those muffins. So I made my muffins like theirs expect I infused the cream cheese with coffee for a "latte" filling.
Yeap, that's definitely a pumpkin latte and pumpkin cream cheese muffin all in one!

I have to make these! I love the spices you used and the cream cheese filling with the coffee must be delicious. I love coffee in any kind of sweet. Great recipe Anna!
