Instructions To Make Red Velvet Muffins

2. In a medium sized bowl, whisk together your flour, cocoa powder, brown sugar, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. In a separate large bowl, whisk together your milk, butter, eggs, vanilla, and food coloring until combined. Mix in your flour mixture until just combined, do not overmix.
4. Evenly divide your batter between the prepared muffin liners and bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out almost clean. Allow the muffins to cool completely before making your filling.

Cream Cheese Filling:

1. Once your muffins have cooled, use a tsp measure to scoop out 1 tsp of muffin out of the top middle of your muffins, set those scooped out parts aside.
2. Make your filling by combining all of your ingredients into a bowl and whisking until smooth.
3. Place 1 tsp of cream cheese filling in to each of your muffins, and top with that scooped out muffin top. Enjoy!
