HEALTHY AND HEARTY CARROT CAKE MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Spray a 12 cup muffin pan with non-stick spray or line with paper baking cups.
• Mix dry ingredients in a large bowl with a whisk.
• In a medium bowl, mix buttermilk, eggs, brown sugar, vanilla, crushed pineapple, and butter/coconut oil with a whisk.
• Make a well in the middle of the dry ingredients and pour liquid ingredients in, stirring a few times with a wooden spoon or scraper to incorporate gently. Don't mix too much!
• Fold in shredded carrots, walnuts or pepitas, shredded coconut, and golden raisins. (Note: if you use bagged shredded carrots, you may want to coarsely chop them so the shreds don't stick out of your muffin).
• Scoop 1/3 cup of batter per muffin into tin.
• Bake for 18-20 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean.
• Wait patiently for a few minutes before popping your muffins out of the tin!

CARROT CAKE MUFFINS

Steps:

• 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.
• 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.
