List of Ingredients

â—¦  2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
â—¦  ½ cup sugar
â—¦  2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
â—¦  2 teaspoons baking powder
â—¦  ¾ teaspoon baking soda
â—¦  ½ teaspoon salt
â—¦  1 ¼ cups plain yogurt
â—¦  4 tablespoons melted unsalted butter
â—¦  2 large eggs
â—¦  2 cups shredded peeled carrots (about 5 medium)


Recipe

Line twelve cups (each 2 ½ inches wide) of a standard muffin tin with paper liners; set aside. In a large bowl, stir together flour, sugar, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; set aside.

In a separate bowl, whisk together yogurt, butter, and eggs. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add yogurt mixture. Stir until just combined. Fold in carrots.

Spoon batter into prepared muffin cups. (If desired, muffins can be baked immediately in a 375-degree oven for about 20 minutes.) Freeze until firm, about 30 minutes, then cover with plastic wrap, and freeze until ready to bake, up to 3 months.

Preheat oven to 375° F.
Bake muffins (still frozen) until a toothpick inserted in center of one comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Transfer to a rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
