Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 2 large eggs
- 0.5 cups vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups carrots, grated
- 0.25 cups milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt.
In a separate medium bowl, beat the eggs. Then mix in the vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the grated carrots 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 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
