Preheat oven to 350. grease muffin pan or use liners.
In a large bowl, beat together eggs, oil, sugar and 2 t vanilla. Mix in flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt and spices. Stir in carrots. Pour into prepared pan.
Bake for about 17-18 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.

  1. How did I not know about this blog? I am totally going to try this recipe. In a month, when I'm allowed to eat sugar again. Because I'm pretty sure I could eat over half of however many I made...
