Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cardamom
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • ½ cup butter
  • ¾ cup brown sugar
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1 ½ cup shredded carrots

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and grease a muffin tin with butter or cooking spray (or use paper liners).
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, cardamom, and salt and set aside.
  • In a larger mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar on high speed until well combined.  Add the eggs, one at a time, and then stir in the vanilla.
  • Fold in the dry ingredients until just combined – don’t over-mix!
  • Divide the batter among the muffin cups, filling each one about 3 quarters full.
  • Bake for 15-20 minutes, until the muffins are golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into one of the muffins comes out clean.
  • Let the muffins cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes, then take them out and finish cooling on a wire rack.
