Yield 12 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 eggs
½ cup greek yogurt
½ cup maple syrup
¼ cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 carrots, shredded
1 ½ cups whole wheat flour
1 ¾ teaspoons baking powder
1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
8 oz light cream cheese, softened
¼ cup maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • In a large bowl, whisk the eggs until light and fluffy.
  • Add in the Greek yogurt and whisk again until the mixture is smooth and fluffy.
  • Pour in the maple syrup, milk, and vanilla extract. Beat the mixture again until smooth.
  • Add the shredded carrots, whole wheat flour, baking powder, and cinnamon over the wet ingredients. Using a rubber spatula, fold the wet and dry ingredients together just until combined.
  • Using a medium ice cream scoop, portion the batter into a greased 12-cup muffin tin.
  • Bake for 20 minutes, until the muffins have risen and set.
  • For the frosting, beat the cream cheese in a small bowl until smooth.
  • Add in the maple syrup and vanilla and beat again until the mixture is well combined.
  • Once the muffins have cooled, use a small ice cream scoop to spoon a bit of the frosting on top of the muffins. Gently tap the muffins on the counter to smooth out the layer of frosting on top.
  • Enjoy!
