Fluffy Carrot Muffins with Cream Cheese Frosting
Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a muffin tin or line with paper liners.
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
-
In a large bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
-
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Fold in the grated carrots, crushed pineapple, and chopped walnuts.
-
Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
In a medium bowl, beat together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Spread the cream cheese frosting over the cooled muffins.

Serve and enjoy!
