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!

HEALTHY CARROT CAKE MUFFINS
These are so delicious you can't just eat one. I often double the recipe because 12 are just not enough. In the recipe I use Light Silk Soymilk either Vanilla or Original. You could also try using milk or low-fat vanilla or plain yogurt.
