Cream Cheese Carrot Cake Muffins


These muffins are a tasty stand-in,, the deep-gold, moist, flavorful cake! The rich, sumptuous cream cheese icing!

The time it takes to bake a layer cake, turn it out, cool, frost, slice, and serve…

The solution? Carrot cake muffins, a less-sweet carrot cake clone oozing baked-in, barely sweetened cream cheese filling.

You get the carrot cake experience, with slightly less sugar and fat. Or a lot less, depending on your favorite carrot cake recipe.

These muffins are handy to transport; simple to serve.

Cream Cheese Carrot Cake Muffins

Yield: 12 muffins

Ingredients:

  • a few drops of Fiori di Sicilia flavor, optional but very tasty
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • one 8-ounce package cream cheese or Neufchâtel cheese

Muffins:

  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 1/4 cups King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 3/4 teaspoon ground ginger[1]
  • ¼ cup light brown sugar, firmly packed
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup grated carrots, lightly packed; about 2 medium-large carrots
  • 3/4 cup water

Directions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Lightly grease a standard 12-well muffin pan. Or line the pan with paper muffin cups, and grease the cups.
  2. To make the filling: Place the cream cheese in a microwave-safe bowl, and heat on low power for 40 seconds. Stir in the sugar and flavor. Set aside.
  3. To make the muffin batter: In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, water, and oil.
  5. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients.
  6. Fold in the grated carrots, stirring to combine.
  7. Drop about 2 tablespoons of the batter (a tablespoon cookie scoop works well here) into each muffin cup, spreading it to cover the bottom.
  8. Dollop on a heaping tablespoon of filling; a level tablespoon cookie scoop works well here.
  9. Cover with enough batter to fill the muffin cups quite full. The batter will come to within about 1/4 to 3/8 of the top of each muffin cup. But don't try to use all the batter; unless you have particularly deep cups, you'll have abut 1/3 cup batter left over. Bake it in a separate custard cup, if desired.
  10. Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the cake part of one (not into the cream cheese filling) comes out clean, about 20 minutes. The tops of the muffins will feel firm to the touch.
  11. Remove the muffins from the oven, and as soon as you're able to handle them, transfer them to a rack. If you serve the muffins warm, the filling will be molten. If you wait for them to cool, it'll firm up.
