Soft carrot apple muffins filled with warm spices and sweet raisins. A wholesome breakfast or snack ready in under 40 minutes.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 half teaspoon baking soda
- 1 half teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 and one half teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 quarter teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 3 quarters cup granulated sugar
- 1 half cup light brown sugar packed
- 3 large eggs
- 3 quarters cup neutral oil such as vegetable or canola oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups finely shredded carrots
- 1 cup finely grated apple peeled
- 1 half cup raisins
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a 12 cup muffin pan with paper liners or lightly grease with oil.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and eggs until smooth. Add the oil and vanilla extract and whisk until fully combined.
- Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients just until combined. Do not overmix.
- Fold in the shredded carrots, grated apple, and raisins until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three quarters full.
- Bake for 20 to 24 minutes until the tops are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs but no wet batter.
- Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Finely shred the carrots and grate the apple to ensure the muffins bake evenly and stay tender.
