Glorious Carrot Muffins are a delightful treat! Here’s a simple recipe to make them:
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 cups grated carrots (about 3-4 medium carrots)
1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
2 large eggs
1/2 cup vegetable oil or melted coconut oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
Preheat Oven and Prepare Muffin Tin:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups lightly with oil or cooking spray.
Mix Dry Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg.
Prepare Carrots and Nuts:
Peel and grate the carrots. If using nuts, chop them into small pieces.
Combine Wet Ingredients:
In another bowl, beat the eggs lightly. Add the oil and vanilla extract, and whisk until well combined.
Mix Everything Together:
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be lumpy. Fold in the grated carrots and chopped nuts.
Fill Muffin Cups:
Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Bake:
Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Cool and Serve:
Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
These Glorious Carrot Muffins are perfect for breakfast or as a snack. Enjoy the moist, flavorful goodness of homemade carrot muffins! You can also add a cream cheese frosting if you want to make them extra special.
