Preparation

Step 1

Place carrots in a food processor; cover and process until smooth.

In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking soda, salt and spices.

In a small bowl, whisk the pureed carrots, egg and oil. Stir into dry ingredients just until moistened.

Fill 12 greased muffin cups one third full. Reserve remaining batter.

In a small bowl, beat the filling ingredients until smooth. Drop by tablespoonfuls into the center of each muffin. Top with remaining batter.

Bake at 350°F for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.

Cool for 5 minutes, then remove from pan to a wire rack. Serve warm. Refrigerate leftovers.
