I am hosting a brunch on Saturday and have been looking for the perfect muffin recipe….looks like I just found it! These look superb!
Krys says
Hrmm.. I made these as goodies for this years easter hunt. (We hide baked goods and other surprises instead of chocolate.) Despite my cooling the cheese mixture before I spooned it in the middle, and then topping it off with batter, they sort of separated where the cream cheese meets the muffin. So there’s a top, a bottom and the top is a mixed cream cheese/better sort of marble. Not pretty, but delicious! Any ideas what may have happened?
Amy @ Positively Splendid says
@Krys – I am so sorry you didn’t have any luck here! Did you by chance try to spread the top layer with a spatula to cover the cream layer? That would be the only reason I can think of for everything getting muddled. I am sorry not to be of more help!

Cristy says
These looks delicious!! Do I need to refrigerate leftovers?
Amy @ Positively Splendid says
I refrigerated the leftovers because of the cream cheese filling. Great question! Thanks for stopping in.
Cristy says
Thanks for answering 🙂

These would be a great Valentine’s Day treat for my husband who loves carrot cake!
Hillary says
These look delicious. My favorite carrot cake recipe has crushed pineapple in it and I am just wondering if it would work in these or if it would mess them up. Has anyone tried it?
Amy @ Positively Splendid says
Hi, Hillary! You would probably need to adjust the other wet ingredients slightly to compensate for the added liquid in the pineapple. If you give it a try, I’d love to hear your results!
