Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups carrots, grated
- 1 large apple, peeled and grated
- 0.5 cup raisins
- 0.5 cup sweetened shredded coconut
- 0.5 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
- 3 large eggs
- 0.67 cup vegetable oil (or melted coconut oil)
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup orange juice
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the tin.
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
Stir in the grated carrots, grated apple, raisins, shredded coconut, and chopped nuts until they are evenly distributed in the dry mixture.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk the eggs, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and orange juice until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients and gently mix with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix 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 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
