Time 40m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
⅓ cup white sugar
2 teaspoons baking soda
¼ cup margarine, softened
½ cup egg substitute
1 cup lowfat buttermilk
2 tablespoons frozen orange juice concentrate
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 cup grated carrots
½ cup raisins, plumped and drained
6 tablespoons lowfat cream cheese, softened
2 tablespoons nonfat sour cream

½ cup finely chopped walnuts

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease muffin cups or line with paper liners.
  • In a large bowl, stir together the flour, 1/3 cup of sugar, and baking soda. Add the margarine, buttermilk, egg substitute, orange juice, and vanilla, mix until smooth, then stir in the carrots and raisins. Fill each of the prepared muffin cups 2/3 full.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the cream cheese, sour cream, and remaining 1/3 cup of sugar, until smooth, then stir in the walnuts. Drop a spoonful of the cream cheese mixture onto the top of each cup of muffin batter.
  • Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 20 to 25 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from the pan and place on a wire rack to cool completely.

Tips:

  • For the best texture, use fresh, grated carrots. Avoid pre-shredded or frozen carrots, as they can contain more water and make the muffins dense.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in tough, dense muffins.
  • Fill the muffin cups only 2/3 full. Overfilling can cause the muffins to overflow and create a mess in your oven.
  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking can dry out the muffins.
  • Allow the muffins to cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting set properly.
  • For a lighter frosting, use whipped cream instead of butter. You can also add a teaspoon of lemon zest or vanilla extract for extra flavor.

Conclusion:

These fluffy carrot muffins with cream cheese frosting are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They're perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. The muffins are moist and flavorful, and the frosting is rich and creamy. Whether you're a carrot muffin fan or not, you're sure to love this recipe.
