Ingredients

1.5 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
1/4 tsp salt
2 large eggs
1/2 cup honey
1/4 cup canola oil
1.5 cups grated carrots
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
1 tbsp lemon juice

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F and line a muffin tin with paper liners. Whisk 1.5 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tsp baking powder, 1 tsp ground cinnamon, 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg, and 1/4 tsp salt in a bowl.
Step 2: Beat 2 large eggs, 1/2 cup honey, and 1/4 cup canola oil in a separate bowl until smooth. Stir in 1.5 cups grated carrots. Gently fold in dry ingredients until just combined — do not overmix.
Step 3: Divide batter into muffin cups. Bake for 20-22 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean. While warm, mix 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar with 1 tbsp lemon juice to make a glaze. Drizzle over muffins and let set for 15 minutes before serving.
