Pumpkin Cream Cheese Walnut Streusel Muffins

I shared these delicious streusel muffins with friends and coworkers yesterday and all reviews were outstanding. The pumpkin keeps the muffins quite moist without the need for a lot of oil in the batter. I like ground walnuts int he streusel but any of you favorite nuts will be just as good.
