  • measuring spoons
  • spatula
  • oven
  • muffin pan
  • grater
  • knife

Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp baking soda
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 0.5 tsp salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs at room temperature
  • 0.5 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Mix-ins

  • 2 cups finely grated carrots from about 2 medium carrots
  • 1 cup peeled and finely grated apple from about 1 medium apple
  • 0.5 cup shredded unsweetened coconut
  • 0.5 cup raisins
  • 0.5 cup chopped pecans or walnuts

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a standard 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners or lightly grease each cup with cooking spray. Set the prepared pan aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt until they are thoroughly combined and no lumps remain. Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients.
  • In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the large eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and evenly incorporated.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the well of the dry ingredients. Stir with a large spoon or rubber spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few streaks of flour are acceptable, as overmixing will result in tough muffins.
  • Divide the batter evenly among the 12 prepared muffin cups, filling each cup approximately two-thirds full.
  • Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a wooden skewer or toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  • Let the muffins cool in the muffin pan for 5 minutes before carefully transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes
