A rich, moist carrot oatmeal muffin packed with whole wheat, raisins, pineapple, coconut, and a cream cheese surprise baked right in the center! Great for breakfast and kids love them! I vary the recipe depending on what I have on hand and it always works out great. Hope you enjoy!

Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
¾ cup white sugar
¾ cup brown sugar
1 cup canola oil
3 eggs, beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup uncooked rolled oats
½ cup flaked coconut
½ cup raisins
2 cups shredded carrots
1 (8 ounce) can crushed pineapple, drained with juice reserved
¼ cup softened cream cheese

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease muffin tins.
In a large bowl, mix all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Make a well in the center of the mixture, and add white sugar, brown sugar, canola oil, eggs, and vanilla. Mix just until evenly moist. Fold in oats, coconut, raisins, carrots, and pineapple.
In a bowl, blend reserved pineapple juice and cream cheese. Fill each muffin cup about 1/2 full with muffin batter, reserving about 1/3 of the batter. Spoon approximately 1 teaspoon of cream cheese mixture into the muffin cups. Top with remaining batter, so that each muffin cup is about 2/3 full.
Bake 25 minutes in the preheated oven, or until a knife inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean.
