Time 1h5m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 ⅓ cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
1 ¼ teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
3 eggs
1 cup white sugar
¾ cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups grated carrot
¼ cup cream cheese, softened
2 tablespoons butter, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 ½ cups sifted confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease the bottoms only of 12 muffin cups, or line with baking cups. Sift together the flour, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, and salt; set aside.
  • Beat the eggs and sugar until frothy and lightened in color. Stir in the oil, vanilla extract, and grated carrot; fold in the flour mixture. Pour the batter into the prepared muffin tins.
  • Bake in preheated oven until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove to cool on wire racks.
  • Meanwhile, prepare the icing by beating together the cream cheese, butter, vanilla, and confectioners' sugar until fluffy. Frost the cooled muffins and chill until ready to serve.

I'm not a baker, but these muffins were so easy to make. I'm definitely going to try some of the other recipes on this site.

These muffins are the perfect size for a quick breakfast or snack. I love that they're not too sweet.

I love that this recipe uses whole wheat flour. It makes the muffins healthier and gives them a nice nutty flavor.

These muffins were so easy to make! I didn't have any cream cheese on hand, so I used sour cream instead. They still turned out great.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my muffins turned out dry and crumbly. I'm not sure what went wrong.

These muffins were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

These muffins were easy to make and turned out perfectly. I love the cream cheese frosting - it's tangy and sweet at the same time.

I'm not usually a fan of carrot cake, but these muffins were surprisingly good. The cream cheese frosting was the perfect complement to the moist and flavorful muffin.

These carrot muffins were a hit at my brunch party! They were light and fluffy, with a moist crumb and a delicious cream cheese frosting. I'll definitely be making them again.
