Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 1.5 cups Carrots, shredded
- 0.5 cup Raisins
- 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts or pecans
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the muffin cups lightly.
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, beat the eggs and then mix in the vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined (do not overmix).
Fold in the shredded carrots, raisins, and chopped nuts until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each cup about three-quarters full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until the tops of the muffins are golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature, and enjoy your Carrot Raisin Nut Muffins!
