Tips:

Use fresh, high-quality carrots. This will give your muffins the best flavor and texture.
Be sure to grate the carrots finely. This will help them distribute evenly throughout the muffins and prevent them from becoming too chunky.
Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the muffins tough and dense.
Fill the muffin cups only about 2/3 full. This will allow the muffins to rise properly without overflowing.
Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking can make the muffins dry and crumbly.
Let the muffins cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting set properly.
