I wanted these to be like Starbuck's pumpkin cream cheese muffins and they aren't. The cream cheese becomes a crusty coating rather than a tunnel of cream. The olive oil is an odd addition but doesn't add olive flavor. They are moist and pale though in comparison to the deep rich orange color of Starbuck's. I probably wouldn't make them again but try another recipe.
