Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 1.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups light brown sugar, packed
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 0.75 cups vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups unsweetened applesauce
- 2 cups carrots, finely grated
- 0.5 cups chopped walnuts (optional)
- 0.5 cups raisins (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a jumbo muffin tin or line it with jumbo paper liners.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, mix the granulated sugar, light brown sugar, eggs, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and applesauce until smooth and creamy.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Gently fold in the finely grated carrots, chopped walnuts, and raisins (if using) until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your delicious carrot jumbo muffins!
