Line 12 muffin molds with paper cup liners. Combine flour, baking soda and cinnamon in a medium bowl. In a mixing bowl, place the eggs, oil, vanilla and sugar together and whisk. Stir in flour mixture until combined then stir in carrots and pecans. Fill cups three-quarters full. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean, about 18-20 minutes. Cool muffins in the pan for about 5 minutes, then invert them into a rack.
