Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F/175°C. Line a standard size muffin tin with paper liners or coat with nonstick cooking spray.

  3. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
  4. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add oil, eggs, sugar, and vanilla and gently whisk together until just combined. Fold in carrots.
  5. Scoop into prepared muffin cups and top with streusel. Bake for 18-20 minutes.
  6. Meanwhile, prepare the glaze. Whisk together confectioners’ sugar, maple syrup, and cinnamon. Add soy milk or water until you reach desired thickness.
  7. Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool before drizzling them with the glaze. Enjoy!
