Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons ground ginger
- 0.75 cups light brown sugar
- 0.75 cups apple sauce
- 0.5 cups vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 large eggs
- 2 cups shredded carrots
- 0.5 cups shredded sweetened coconut
- 0.5 cups chopped walnuts
- 0.5 cups raisins
- 1 medium apple, peeled and grated
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and ginger until well combined.
In a separate large bowl, combine the brown sugar, apple sauce, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract.
Add the eggs one at a time into the wet ingredients, beating well after each addition until fully incorporated.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined.
Fold in the shredded carrots, coconut, chopped walnuts, raisins, and grated apple until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Evenly distribute the batter among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy warm or at room temperature. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
