Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar
- 0.25 cups brown sugar, packed
- 0.5 cups unsweetened applesauce
- 0.25 cups vegetable oil
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cups grated carrot
- 1 cups grated apple (peeled)
- 0.5 cups chopped walnuts or pecans
- 0.5 cups raisins
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the cups.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, applesauce, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and fully incorporated.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the grated carrot, grated apple, chopped nuts, and raisins until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18–22 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 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.
