Ingredients
 
 

Crimson Velvet Muffins

  • 155 g AP Flour
  • 100 g granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp. unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ½ tsp. baking soda
  • ½ tsp. baking powder
  • ½ tsp. salt
  • ⅓ cup milk room temp.
  • 30 ml canola oil vegetable oil, or any neutral oil
  • 28 g unsalted butter melted
  • 1 egg room temp.
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp. white vinegar
  • red gel food coloring

Cream Cheese Filling

  • 4 oz. cream cheese room temp.
  • 30 g granulated sugar
  • ½ tsp. clear vanilla extract optional

Instructions
 

Velvet Muffins

  • Preheat oven to 350 ℉.
  • In a mixing bowl add all the dry ingredients: flour, sugar, baking soda and powder, salt and cocoa powder.
  • In another mixing bowl or measuring cup, add the egg, melted butter, milk, vinegar, vanilla extract and red food coloring. Mix altogether well.
  • Add your wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix for a short period of time, about 10-15 stirs, or until flour isn't very visible. The batter will be lumpy, that's perfect!
  • Sort the batter evenly between the muffin inserts.
  • Bake for about 20 minutes, or until toothpick returns clean after punctured with muffin.
  • Let rest for at least 30 minutes before adding the cream cheese filling.

Cream Cheese Filling

  • In a mixing bowl, add very soft cream cheese, along with the sugar and whip well. Then add the clear vanilla and whip again.
  • Place filling in a piping bag.
  • Puncture a centered whole into the cooled muffins. Remove the excess muffin to open the whole. Then add the cream cheese filling from the cut end of the piping bag into the whole of the muffin.
  • Enjoy!

Notes

If your sugar didn't meld into the cream cheese, heat the cream cheese slightly, it'll help.
