1

Refrigerate the crumble mixture while making the muffins.

2

In a large bowl, mix together the vegetable oil, sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla until smooth.

3

In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, all spice, nutmeg, and salt until well combined.

4

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.

5

Fold in the grated carrots and sour cream until evenly distributed.

6

Spoon a small amount of batter into each muffin cup, filling them about one-third full.

7

In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese with softened butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth and creamy.

8

Add a dollop of the cream cheese mixture on top of the batter in each muffin cup.

9

Cover the cream cheese with more batter until the cups are about two-thirds full.

10

Bake at 425°F for 5 minutes, then lower the temperature to 350°F and bake for another 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
