Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups Whole wheat flour
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cups Brown sugar, packed
- 1 teaspoons Baking soda
- 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1.5 cups Grated carrots
- 1 cup Grated apple (peeled and cored)
- 0.5 cups Crushed pineapple, drained
- 0.5 cups Chopped pecans or walnuts
- 0.5 cups Shredded coconut (optional)
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 0.5 cups Vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the cups.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Whisk together to evenly distribute the ingredients.
Stir in the grated carrots, grated apple, and crushed pineapple until they are evenly coated with the dry ingredients. If using nuts or coconut, fold them in at this stage.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the muffins tender.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
