Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour (or half whole wheat)
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup granulated or brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil or melted butter

  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans

  • 1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut (optional)
  • 1 tsp orange or lemon zest (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with liners or grease them.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and sugar until well combined.
  3. In another bowl, beat the eggs with the vegetable oil (or melted butter) and vanilla extract until creamy and combined.
  4. Stir in the grated carrots, grated apple, walnuts, raisins, coconut (if using), and citrus zest.
  5. Add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients and fold gently until just mixed.
  6. Divide the batter evenly into the muffin tins, filling each cup about ¾ full.
  7. Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the muffins cool in the tin for about 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For extra sweetness, consider adding more sugar. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
