Hi Sharon,
It can be tricky to gauge the doneness of these muffins because of the gooey (albeit delicious) cream cheese filling. You can use all your senses to help tell you when these are finished baking: the edges should look slightly golden brown, the tops should be nice and springy to the touch, and your kitchen should smell heavenly! You can try inserting a toothpick into the side of the muffins to see if it comes out clean, and if you see cream cheese filling on it — that's okay. Any orange crumbs will let you know that they need just a few more minutes. Happy baking! Kye@KAF
