Not-too-sweet Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffins

"These pumpkin muffins hide a sweet cream cheese layer inside a spiced pumpkin muffin, which keeps them rich and moist rather than dry. The muffin itself is deliberately not too sweet, so the cream cheese and a cinnamon streusel on top carry the sugar and the crunch. They start in a hot oven for a tall, bakery-style rise, then finish low, twenty minutes total in the oven. Most pumpkin muffin recipes call it “cream cheese” but really just mean a spoonful swirled on top before baking."
