How to Make Carrot Cake Muffins:

Step 1

In a large bowl, add the eggs and caster sugar, then whisk them well to combine, and add in the milk, vegetable oil, and carrots. Continue to whisk, then add the flour, baking powder, and ground cinnamon, and then fold and mix everything until fully combined.

Step 2

Line a muffin pan with cupcake liners, then scoop the batter evenly onto each muffin cup, and place it in an oven preheated at 170°C or 338°F. Allow it to bake for about 20 minutes or until golden brown, then let it cool down, and while waiting, prepare the frosting.

Step 3

In a mixing bowl, add the softened butter and powdered sugar, then beat them for about 2 to 3 minutes until combined or light and airy, and transfer it to a piping bag.

Step 4

Pipe the frosting on top of each cupcake, then top them with grated chocolate and mini edible carrot cake decorations, or with whatever toppings you want. Serve and enjoy!
