Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Coat a muffin pan with cooking spray.
- Combine the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, ginger and salt then mix well.
- Whisk together the sugar and eggs until thickened and lighter in color, about 1 minute. Add the buttermilk, oil and vanilla; whisk until smooth and creamy.
- Gradually add the flour mixture to the batter until just combined. Fold in the carrots. The batter will be thick.
- Spoon the batter equally into the muffin pan filling them to the top.
- Make the streusel by combining the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon and melted butter; mix until crumbly.
- Sprinkle the streusel evenly over each muffin.
- Place into the oven and bake for 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to 350 degrees and continue to cook for 15-20 minutes, or until a tester inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and cool in the pan for a few minutes before putting them on a wire rack over parchment paper to finish cooling.
- Make the glaze by combining the powdered sugar together with the heavy cream and vanilla extract and mix until creamy and smooth.
- Drizzle over the top of the muffins. Serve and enjoy.
