Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line 24 muffin tins with fun cupcake liners.

- In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment or a large mixing bowl with an electric mixer, blend melted butter, milk and egg.
- Slowly add dry ingredients to the batter. Do not over mix. Stop when it is combined, but there are still small lumps.
- Fold in finely grated carrots.
- Evenly spoon batter into cupcake liners. It will be approximately 1 heaping tablespoon.
- In another small bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth.
- Add egg yolk, vanilla and sugar, blending until smooth.
- Place a dollop of cream cheese batter in the center of the carrot cake batter.
- In another small bowl, mix together walnut streusel topping, walnuts, brown sugar and flour, breaking up any pieces of brown sugar.
- Bake for 25 minutes. Times may vary based on oven and how much you filled those cups (I know a few of you took some chances and filled them to the brim, didn't you??). Muffin tops will spring back to the touch.
- Remove and allow to cool.
