Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 eggs
1 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup maple syrup
3 cups grated carrots
FROSTING:
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup butter, softened

Directions

In a large bowl, combine the first six ingredients. In another bowl, beat eggs, oil and syrup. Stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. Fold in carrots. Fill greased or paper-lined muffin cups two-thirds full.
