We're glad to hear you and your husband both loved this recipe! It surely is reminiscent of our favorite fall desserts with the delicious pumpkin and warm spices.

As for your question about preventing the empty space in the muffins, we recommend stirring together the cream cheese and sugar by hand rather than using a mixer. Also, your oven might be running a bit hot. When cream cheese gets too warm, it tends to melt slightly. Try reducing the oven temperature for 400°F, and extend the baking time as needed to ensure the muffins are fully baked. Using slightly less of the cream cheese filling may also give you a better overall structure. If you have any cream cheese filling leftover, use it to smear on toast as you wait for your muffins to bake. :) Enjoy! Kye@KAF
