Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 1.5 teaspoons Cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cups Brown sugar
• 1 cup Carrots, grated
• 1 cup Zucchini, grated
• 0.5 cups Vegetable oil
• 0.5 cups Plain yogurt (or Greek yogurt)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.5 cups Optional add-ins (raisins, nuts, or chocolate chips)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt until well combined. Set aside.

Step 3

In another mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, yogurt, vanilla extract, and eggs. Whisk until smooth and fully incorporated.

Step 4

Stir the grated carrots and zucchini into the wet ingredients until evenly distributed.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter to keep the muffins tender.

Step 6

If you're adding optional ingredients like raisins, nuts, or chocolate chips, gently fold them into the batter at this stage.

Step 7

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 18–22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy!
