Instructions
Carrot Bunny Muffins
- Measure the dry ingredients and sugar into a large mixing bowl. Preheat the oven to 365 degrees. Line a muffin pan with muffin cups.
- Mix the wet ingredients in another bowl. Add them to the dry ingredients. Mix them together and mix smoothly without overmixing.
- Scoop the muffin batter into the cups using an ice cream scoop or measuring cup to keep them uniform in size.
- Bake in the oven for 25 minutes or until they are done. They are done when they spring back when touched in the center or a toothpick inserted in the center comes clean.
Garnishes
- Whip the cream cheese and pipe a star on the top of each muffin.
- Shave the bottom of the carrots on a bias on a mandolin to make ears. Watch the video to see how.
- Stick the carrot ears in the cream cheese to make ears for the muffins.
