- 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.

- 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.

- Enjoy!

CARROT CAKE MUFFINS
These are a twist between a cinnamon roll and carrot cake cupcakes. You'll just have to roll your eyes and say 'Mmmmm' when you take your first bite! Another topping idea would be to sprinkle the muffins with a cinnamon-sugar mixture before baking. Top with a vanilla glaze.
