Tips:

  • For the best results, use fresh carrots. Grating them finely will ensure they blend smoothly into the batter.
  • Be sure to drain the carrots well before adding them to the batter. Excess moisture can make the muffins dense.
  • Use a microplane to zest the lemon. This will give the muffins a bright, citrusy flavor.
  • If you don't have a microplane, you can use a fine grater.
  • Be sure to cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help the muffins rise properly.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the muffins tough.
  • Fill the muffin cups about 2/3 full. This will allow the muffins to rise properly.
  • Bake the muffins in a preheated oven. This will help them rise evenly.
  • Allow the muffins to cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting set properly.

Conclusion:

These chocolate chip carrot cake muffins are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They're perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. The moist carrot cake batter is studded with chocolate chips and topped with a creamy cream cheese frosting. These muffins are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
