- 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 (WITH CARROT AND CAULIFLOWER)
This is an amazing 'muffin' recipe (I think they're almost like cupcakes when you add the frosting) from Jessica Seinfeld's book "Deceptively Delicious". I get rave reviews everytime I make them. I prefer to use applesauce in place of the pureed cauliflower.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat a 12 cup muffin tin with cooking spray, or line with paper baking cups.
- In large bowl, use a wooden spoon to beat the sugar with the butter (or margarine) until smooth.
- Stir in purees, egg, orange juice, vanilla; then add fruit.
- Add powders and stir until just combined; do not overmix - there will be lumps in the batter.
- Pour batter into muffin cups. Bake 12-15 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean and muffins are lightly browned. Cool.
- Frosting: Beat frosting ingredients together in a medium bowl until smooth. Spread onto cooled muffins.
- Store in air tight container 2 days at room temperature - or keep in fridge!

CARROT CAKE MUFFINS
These spicy whole-grain muffins are just sweet enough, unlike most cloying carrot cakes. And these are packed with carrots.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees with the rack in the upper third of the space. Oil or butter muffin tins.
- Sift together the whole-wheat pastry flour, baking powder, baking soda, spices and salt.
- In a separate bowl, beat together the eggs, sugar, oil, buttermilk and vanilla. Using a whisk or a spatula, stir in the dry ingredients and mix until well combined. Do not beat; a few lumps are fine, but make sure there is no flour at the bottom of the bowl. Fold in the raisins or pecans and the carrots.
- Spoon into muffin cups, filling them to just below the top (about 4/5 full). Place in the oven, and bake 25 minutes until lightly browned and well risen.
