About CARROT MUFFINS WITH CREAM CHEESE FILLING, CARROT
Favorite Day Carrot Muffins With Cream Cheese Filling are a large-format bakery item sold under Target's Favorite Day brand. Each muffin is made with a carrot-based batter incorporating oats and blackstrap molasses, with a cream cheese filling piped into the center. The product is categorized under croissants, sweet rolls, and other pastries. Per 100 grams, it delivers 327 calories, 15.04 grams of total fat, 43.36 grams of carbohydrates, 4.42 grams of protein, and 1.8 grams of dietary fiber.
The muffin batter opens with enriched wheat flour and brown sugar, with carrots as the characterizing vegetable. Soybean oil provides fat, and eggs and buttermilk contribute to structure and tang. Rolled oats add texture and fiber alongside the pineapple inclusion (pineapple, pineapple juice, ascorbic acid) — a traditional carrot cake accompaniment. Blackstrap molasses provides deep color and mineral richness. The leavening system includes sodium acid pyrophosphate, sodium aluminum phosphate, and monocalcium phosphate. The cream cheese filling is notable: it is made from real cream cheese (cream, nonfat milk, salt, guar gum, propylene glycol alginate, carrageenan, and locust bean gum with bacterial culture), but the filling base incorporates titanium dioxide as a declared color additive. Titanium dioxide remains permitted in the United States as a food coloring agent; however, the European Union banned its use in food in 2022 following safety assessments by the European Food Safety Authority.
Allergens include wheat, milk (cream cheese, buttermilk), eggs, and soy (from margarine and lecithin). The margarine in this formulation is a soybean, palm, and modified palm oil blend with natural annatto and turmeric coloring rather than artificial dyes. No partially hydrogenated oils appear in the muffin batter, though the margarine blend contains refined palm and modified palm fractions.
