You can reduce the sugar by half if you want a less sweet muffin.
Grating the carrots with a box grater will give you the best results! Avoid using packaged shredded carrots.
You can use any flavorless oil you prefer.
Make ahead tip
Muffins are best the day they are made but they can be stored for later use. Place the muffins in an airtight container and keep them at room temperature for up to 3 days.
Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
Or freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw one or all of the muffins in the refrigerator overnight. Or place a single frozen muffin in the microwave for 40-60 seconds.
