Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 3 large eggs
- 2 cups shredded carrots
- 1 apple, peeled and shredded
- ½ cup raisins
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Grease a standard 12-cup muffin pan or line it with parchment muffin liners.
- Whisk the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt together in a large mixing bowl.
- Whisk the granulated sugar, vegetable oil, and eggs together in a separate bowl until smooth.
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture and stir gently just until nearly combined.
- Fold in the shredded carrots, shredded apple, and raisins until evenly distributed. Do not overmix.
- Divide the batter evenly among the 12 prepared muffin cups.
- Bake for 25 to 29 minutes, or until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool the muffins in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack.
Notes
- Measure the flour by spooning it into the measuring cup and leveling the top to prevent dry muffins.
- Use freshly shredded carrots for the softest texture.
- Do not overmix the batter after adding the wet ingredients.
- Store fully cooled muffins in a zippered bag or airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
- Place a slice of bread in the storage container to help absorb excess moisture.
- Freeze fully cooled muffins in a freezer-safe zippered bag for up to 3 months.
- Thaw at room temperature or warm one muffin in the microwave for 10 to 15 seconds.
