  • Grate the carrots finely: This will help them distribute evenly throughout the batter.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in tough muffins.
  • Use a large bowl: The batter will be thick, so you'll need a large bowl to mix it in.
  • Line the muffin tins with paper liners: This will make it easy to remove the muffins from the tins.
  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This usually takes about 20 minutes.
  • Let the muffins cool completely before serving: This will allow the flavors to develop and the muffins to firm up.
