Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor and texture of your muffins.
  • Grate the carrots finely. This will help them blend into the batter and distribute their flavor evenly throughout the muffins.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can develop the gluten in the flour, making your muffins tough.
  • Fill the muffin cups only 2/3 full. This will prevent them from overflowing in the oven.
  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This will ensure that they are cooked through.
  • Let the muffins cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting set properly.
