Gluten-free Carrot Cake Muffins With Cream Cheese Filling

    Cream cheese filling

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees and line a 12-cup muffin tin with parchment muffin liners.

  2. Add all ingredients for the cream cheese filling in a bowl, and use a hand mixer to mix until smooth and creamy. Place in the fridge while you make the muffin batter.

  3. In a large mixing bowl, stir together flour, brown sugar, baking soda, sea salt, and cinnamon until combined.

  4. Add in avocado oil, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract. Stir until almost combined.

  5. Fold in grated carrots. Do not overmix.

  6. Add 2 tablespoons of the batter to each muffin cup, then add a spoonful of the cream cheese filling to the center of each muffin batter, flattening the top slightly with the back of a spoon.

  7. Top each muffin cup with another 2 tablespoons of the batter until filled almost to the top and the filling is covered. Sprinkle the top with some turbinado sugar.

  8. Bake for 24-28 min until a toothpick inserted into the batter part of the muffins comes out mostly clean. Let cool, and enjoy!
