Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cups Brown sugar, packed
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 1.5 cups Carrots, grated
• 2 tablespoons Poppy seeds
• 2 whole Large eggs
• 0.5 cups Vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 cups Milk

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the cups.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

Fold in the grated carrots and poppy seeds, ensuring the carrots are evenly distributed throughout the dry mixture.

Step 4

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth.

Step 5

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it’s okay if the batter is slightly lumpy.

Step 6

Using a spoon or an ice cream scoop, evenly divide the batter among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the muffin tin from the oven and allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Serve warm or at room temperature. These muffins can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerated for up to a week.
