Cinnamon Glazed Carrot Cake Muffins

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Cinnamon Glazed Carrot Cake Muffins.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 375°F (190°C).

2. Step 2

   While it warms up, take a moment to prepare your muffin pans.

3. Step 3

   You can either lightly grease two muffin pans or line them with cheerful paper liners to make cleanup a breeze.

4. Step 4

   In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, baking powder, two teaspoons of fragrant ground cinnamon, a pinch of nutmeg, allspice, and a sprinkle of salt.

5. Step 5

   Give it a good stir to blend everything together, then add in the brown sugar, white sugar, and flaked coconut, mixing until well combined.

6. Step 6

   In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, vegetable oil, half a cup of buttermilk, grated carrots, crushed pineapple (juice included for extra moisture), and a splash of vanilla extract.

7. Step 7

   This mixture is where the magic happens! Create a well in the center of your dry ingredients and gently pour in the wet mixture.

8. Step 8

   Stir just until everything is combined—remember, a little lumpiness is perfectly fine; we don’t want to overmix.

9. Step 9

   Now, fill each muffin cup about three-quarters full with this delightful batter.

10. Step 10

    Slide the pans into your preheated oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes.

11. Step 11

    You’ll know they’re ready when the tops spring back lightly when tapped.

12. Step 12

    Once baked to perfection, let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

13. Step 13

    While they cool, let’s whip up a simple glaze! In a small bowl, mix together confectioners' sugar, one teaspoon of ground cinnamon, and two to three tablespoons of buttermilk until it’s smooth and creamy.

14. Step 14

    Pop it in the fridge for a bit to thicken, then drizzle it over your cooled muffins for that extra touch of sweetness.

15. Step 15

    Enjoy the delightful aroma and the joy of sharing these scrumptious muffins with friends and family!.
