Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup grated carrots
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped apple
  • 1/2 cup raisins
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
  • 1/4 cup shredded unsweetened coconut (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease well.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Set this dry mixture aside.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the vegetable oil and brown sugar until combined.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients. Mix gently until just combined; do not overmix.
  6. Fold in the grated carrots, chopped apple, raisins, chopped nuts, and coconut, if using. Mix until the add-ins are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  7. Divide the batter evenly among the 12 prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  8. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  9. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For an extra boost of nutrition, substitute half of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour.
  • These muffins freeze well. Cool them completely, then store them in an airtight container or freezer bag for up to three months. Thaw overnight on the counter for a quick grab-and-go breakfast.
  • You can use pineapple tidbits (drained) in place of some of the apple for added moisture.
