- Note: The total amount of chopped carrots and beets should be about 3 cups.
- I like a little more carrot than beet in the mixture.
- Put the carrots and beets in water in a microwave safe dish and microwave, covered, for 10 minutes or until they are tender.
- Add the oil and eggs to a blender and put the carrots and beets in on top.
- Puree.
- Mix together the dry ingredients in a large bowl.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry, stirring until just moistened.
- In another bowl, beat the cream cheese, egg, and sugar until smooth.
- Fill 24 greased muffin cups one-third full of muffin batter.
- Drop a spoonful of filling on top of each muffin.
- Cover the filling with remaining batter.
- Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean.
