Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake pan with paper liners.
Make the streusel by mixing flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter until crumbly.
In a bowl, combine dry ingredients for the carrot layer; in another bowl, mix wet ingredients. Combine both mixtures and fold in grated carrots and pecans.
In a separate bowl, beat cream cheese with sugar until smooth; add egg and vanilla.
Layer carrot cake mixture at the bottom of each liner followed by cheesecake mixture; top with streusel.
Bake for 28-30 minutes until set but slightly jiggly in the center; cool before serving.
