What you do
Preheat oven to 350. Stir together the first 9 ingredients ingredients. Fold in the egg, puree, oil and honey until combined. Then stir in chocolate chips and nuts.

In a small bowl combine all filling ingredients. Line or grease a muffin tin. Fill muffin cups 1/3 of the way full with muffin batter. Drop a 1/2 tsp of cream cheese filling in the middle of each cup, and cover with more batter until each cup is about 2/3 of the way full. Bake at 350 for about 18 minutes. This makes about 20 muffins.
