Tips:
- Choose the right carrots: Look for carrots that are firm and brightly colored. Avoid carrots that are limp or have blemishes.
- Grate the carrots finely: This will help them blend into the batter more easily and will result in a more evenly textured muffin.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in tough muffins. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.

- Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This will ensure that the muffins are cooked through.
