Let’s bake, this is how Spring is made:

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees (F).

In a bowl, mix the dry ingredients including the Carrots.
In another bowl, mix the melted and cooled Butter with the Oil and 3 Eggs.
Mix the two bowls together and stir until just combined.

Spoon the batter into a nonstick 12-Cup Muffin Pan. Muffin forms made of paper work excellent as well. Bake for about 18-20 minutes or until golden brown. Let them cool down for a few minutes before you enjoy them.

If you decide to make your own frosting, simply combine and stir the ingredients together until smooth. Add how little and how much per muffin you desire.

P.s. If you want to be extra creative: shred a carrot really thin and use a scissor to cut small shapes of decorative carrots placed on top of your frosting. For the green part, use a spinach leaf.
