Ingredients:
- 1 ½ cups whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 cup shredded carrots (fresh or pre-packaged)
- ½ cup raisins (or you can use cranberries for a twist)
- ½ cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans work great)
- ⅓ cup honey or maple syrup
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ cup vegetable oil or melted coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well combined.
- In another bowl, mix together the honey (or maple syrup), eggs, oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it’s okay if it’s a little lumpy!
- Fold in the shredded carrots, raisins, and nuts. Again, give it a gentle fold to keep the muffins fluffy and tender.
- Using a scoop or spoon, fill each muffin cup about two-thirds full with the batter.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The tops should be golden brown.
- Once done, remove from the oven and let them cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
