Time 1h

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 cups Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1/2 cup butter or margarine, melted
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 eggs, beaten
1 cup shredded carrots (about 1 1/2 medium)
1 can (8 oz) crushed pineapple in juice, undrained
1 package (3 oz) cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 400°F. Line 12 regular-size muffin cups with paper baking cups (or spray cups with cooking spray or grease with shortening). In large bowl, stir flour, brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice and melted butter with spoon until mixture looks like coarse crumbs. Reserve 1/2 cup mixture for topping.
  • Stir baking powder, baking soda, salt, eggs, carrots and pineapple into remaining crumb mixture just until moistened; set aside.
  • In small bowl, beat cream cheese, granulated sugar and vanilla with electric mixer on medium speed until well blended.
  • Fill muffin cups 2/3 full with batter. Make indentation in top of each muffin, using back of spoon. Drop about 1 teaspoon cream cheese mixture into each indentation. Sprinkle reserved crumb mixture over batter and filling.
  • Bake 20 to 30 minutes or until golden brown and edges spring back when touched lightly. Cool muffins in pan 5 minutes; remove from pan to cooling rack. Serve warm or cooled. Store covered in refrigerator.

These muffins were a disappointment. They were dry and flavorless.

I found these muffins to be a bit dry. I think I might add some more pineapple next time.

These muffins are a little dense, but I still liked them. I think they would be even better with a little glaze on top.

I'm not a huge fan of carrots, but I really enjoyed these muffins. The pineapple and cinnamon flavors really shine through.

I was skeptical about the pineapple and carrot combination, but I was pleasantly surprised. These muffins are moist and flavorful, and the pineapple adds a nice sweetness.

These muffins are a great way to use up leftover carrots. They're also a healthy and delicious snack.

I love how easy these muffins are to make. I didn't have any crushed pineapple on hand, so I used canned pineapple tidbits instead. They worked perfectly!

These muffins were a delightful surprise! The combination of pineapple and carrot is unique and flavorful, and the muffins themselves are moist and fluffy. I'll definitely be making these again.
