Mother and Grandmom were always in the kitchen cooking up something delicious. This recipe is handed down from Grandmom and is always requested at special gatherings. --Lisa Ann DiNunzio, Vineland, New Jersey INGREDIENTS: 2 cups all-purpose flour 1 cup sugar 1 teaspoon baking powder 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon salt 4 eggs 1 cup vegetable oil 1/2 cup maple syrup 3 cups grated carrots (about 6 medium) FROSTING: 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened 1/4 cup butter, softened 1/4 cup maple syrup 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Chopped walnuts, optional DIRECTIONS: In a large bowl, combine the first six ingredients. In another bowl, beat eggs, oil and syrup. Stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. Fold in carrots. Fill greased or paper-lined muffin cups two-thirds full.
