I was at the store the other day and they have all of their holiday food out on display. I thought pumpkin muffins sounded good, but all I could find was a box of pumpkin quick bread mix. So I grabbed it and thought I could make muffins with it. Then I glanced at the side of the box and there is was. A delicious recipe for pumpkin cheesecake muffins. The picture made them look so good (my picture above does not do them justice). So I had to try them. They were absolutely delicious. A great breakfast for this holiday season. Enjoy!!
