Behold: the delicious Starbucks pumpkin cream-cheese muffin.  Amazing (yet calorie-ridden!).  We know of many who would like to duplicate this tasty little treat for the autumn season.  We can't guarantee you the identical recipe, but we will say that we rather enjoy Rachael Ray's version, Cheesecake-filled Pumpkin Cupcakes.  (If you try this version, we recommend not bothering with the frosting.  The cupcakes are better without and this is a pretty labor-intensive frosting recipe!)  We'd also like to try these two recipes:

• Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffins from Recipezaar
• Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffins from Allrecipes

The Recipezaar recipe claims to be just like the Starbucks muffins.  Hmmmm....

If you have a great pumpkin recipe (or any other fall recipe you think Babs Blog readers would enjoy) make sure to leave a comment or email us!  We'd love to share your favorites with other readers!  Thanks!

P.S.  We apologize for the poor photo quality above.  No, that muffin doesn't look so appetizing up close...
