Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Ground ginger
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.75 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 1.5 cups Carrots, finely grated
- 0.25 cup Crystallized ginger, finely chopped
- 0.5 cup Walnuts or pecans, chopped (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a jumbo muffin tin with 6 large paper liners, or grease the cups well.
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, and salt. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, brown sugar, granulated sugar, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and grated fresh ginger until smooth.
Stir the milk into the wet mixture, followed by the grated carrots and chopped crystallized ginger.
Gradually fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined. Avoid overmixing as it may result in dense muffins.
If you're using chopped nuts, gently fold them into the batter at this stage.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling them nearly to the top for big, bakery-style muffins.
Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 22-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely or serve warm.
