Author Notes: *Note: I used 1/2 cup of sugar first, and than a little bit more, as 3/4 cup would be too sweet for me.

Variation:
you can also mix together a pinch of cinnamon, a pinch of brown sugar and a few pinches of oats to top the muffins before you bake them, I did this, but it is not required.
Ingredients: Muffins:
1 cup pumpkin (I used canned), divided
1 block (8 ounces) cream cheese
1 1/2 cups of flour (you can use 1/2 cup whole wheat and 1 cup all purpose for extra nutrition)
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 tsp. Kosher Salt
3 ripe bananas
3/4 cup of sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon cinnamon

Glaze:
remaining cream cheese, at room temperature
3/4 cup of confectioner's ugar
2 or 3 teaspoons cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions: Preheat your oven to 375ºF.   Light;y grease muffin pans -- this recipe makes about 48 mini muffins or 16 large muffins.

Whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. Set aside.

In a big bowl, cream the pumpkin, 3/4 of the cream cheese, bananas, sugar and egg. Slowly mix in the flour mixture,.

Fill the muffin cups 3/4 full. If you add the optional crumb topping (below), sprinkle that on now. Bake for about 20 minutes if you;re making large muffins, about 12 minutes for mini muffins.

Prepare cream cheese glaze

Whip together all of the ingredients, you can add a little bit more or less cream depending on the thickness you prefer. Once the muffins are completely cool, spread with glaze.

Crumb Topping Variation
For crumb topping,  mix together a pinch of cinnamon, a pinch of brown sugar and a few pinches of oats to top the muffins with before baking.  This is an optional step you can use with or without the cream cheese glaze.
