8 steps
Prep:20minCook:25min
These fluffy muffins are the perfect way to start your morning with a desert for breakfast, or to give out to your most special guests😁
**NOTE: The muffin sizes I used were 6 LARGE SIZED tins. These tins are approximately x2 THE SIZE OF A REGULAR CUPCAKE TIN**
- High in vitamin A, fiber, potassium and much more!
- All spices listed below make a great flavor, and I REALLY recommend them. (if you don't have certain ones, like nutmeg, it's fine).
Disclaimer **I used PANCAKE MIX instead of FLOUR, and it turned out BEAUTIFULLY... I Really recommend it :)

Instructions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400°F, and line your muffin tin with paper liners or grease the tins. I personally like to pat down a bit of flour on the sides of the tins just so that the muffin slips out easily after baking. Set aside.
Step 2
Now, it's time to make your cream cheese filling. In a medium bowl, using a kitchen aid or hand mixer, beat your vanilla, sugar and cream cheese all together, until you get a smooth, velvety mixture. Place in the refrigerator to chill while you make the muffins, as it should be as cold as possible.

Step 3
In a large bowl, mix together all of your dry ingredients (note that sugar is a wet ingredient); This includes the spices as well. **EXCLUDING coconut and carrots***
Step 4
In a medium bowl, combine all of the wet ingredients

Step 5
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Be sure not to over mix, as it is okay if there are a couple flour streaks. Add in the carrots and coconut.
Step 6
Fill each muffin tin a little under 3/4 full, and add a heaping spoonful of your cream cheese mixture in the middle of each tin. Coat the top in a little bit of batter, and pat the pan onto the surface to take away extra air.
Step 7
Bake until your muffins turn golden brown and the tops are springy when you lightly push on them.
I baked for 25 minutes, but each oven varies (I have a fast oven, so watch yours CAREFULLY).

Step 8
Now the best step of all; Enjoy!
