Carrot Cake Cruffins

These Carrot Cake Cruffins are soft, fluffy, and swirled with a spiced carrot filling, then topped with cream cheese for the perfect breakfast, brunch, or sweet treat.

These Carrot Cake Cruffins are flaky and buttery on the outside like a croissant, but soft and tender on the inside—shaped like a muffin.

For the dough: – all- purpose flour – eggs – butter – milk

ingredients

Make the Dough

In a large bowl, mix together the flour, granulated sugar, salt, and instant yeast.

Add the eggs, melted butter, and milk.

Knead the mixture into a soft, smooth dough. Cover and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.

Make the Filling

Heat a skillet over medium heat and melt the butter. Add the grated carrots and sauté briefly.

Stir in the brown sugar, raisins, walnuts, cinnamon, cardamom, and lemon zest. Cook until the carrots soften, adding 1 tablespoon of water or milk if needed. Set aside to cool.
