Easy Carrot Cake Muffins

We can’t get enough of these Easy Carrot Cake Muffins! Sweetened with brown sugar and flavored with cinnamon, these muffins pack in a healthy dose of carrots. Not only do the carrots bring extra sweetness and moisture, but they also add more flavor and nutrients to the muffins. For best results, please use freshly grated carrots. Top each muffin with a homemade cream cheese frosting for a beautiful presentation.

This muffin recipe is pretty easy to make, and you can whip it up in 30 minutes. While the oven preheats, grease and flour a muffin pan and make the batter. In a large bowl, mix the wet ingredients. In a medium bowl, combine the sugar, flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Scoop the batter into the prepared muffin pan and transfer to the oven. Bake until browned and a cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean. While the muffins cool, it’s time to make the frosting by beating the ingredients together. Pipe or spoon the frosting over the cooled muffins, and serve!
