Muffins:
1 ½ cup sugar
1 ¼ cup oil
4 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 ½ teaspoon cinnamon
3 cups finely grated carrots (6-8 carrots)
1 ½ cup nuts (optional)
1 cup raisins (optional)
Lemon Cream Cheese Topping:
¼ cup butter
8 oz cream cheese
1-2 cups powdered sugar
zest of 1 lemon
juice of ½ a lemon
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 305 degrees
2. Grease and flour 16-20 muffins tins depending on how large you want them to be.
3. Beat oil and sugar together until well blended. Add eggs and vanilla and let mix again.
4. In a separate bowl, sift flour, baking soda salt and cinnamon. Then slowly add the wet ingredients. Be careful not to over mix.
5. Stir in grated carrots, nuts and raisins.
6. Spoon into muffins tins and bake for 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
7. Serve alone or with a lemon cream cheese topping.
8. Lemon topping: Beat cream cheese and butter together until light and fluffy. (This will take at least 4 minutes.) Add as much powdered sugar as desired, and then add zest and lemon juice.

My cousin is huge fan of carrot cake. I think he will love if I made these muffins for him. The lemon cream cheese frosting sound splendid!
You have a darling site!

Just made these. So soft, fluffy and light! Dad loved it! Will definitely keep this recipe. (I baked them at 350 for 20-25 mins probably due to different ovens). I’m going to go have some more!

I tried two recipes before yours and they didn’t turn out so great. Yours turned out perfect! Thanks.

Oh good!
Bo says
Is the 305 degree temperature correct or is it a misprint which is supposed to be 350 degrees? These look great but don’t want to cook at the wrong temp.
Lizzy Mae Early says
Honestly, this is an older recipe so I don’t quite remember. I’m guessing it’s 350 because I don’t know why anyone would bake anything at 305 degrees…
Rollins Mease says
Wow, they looks really awesome! 🙂
Leah L says
The temperature should be 350°
The proportions are off.
This took much longer to bake.
Taste is good but raisins and nuts sink to the bottom.
