• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Shredded carrots

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a mini muffin tray with paper liners or grease the wells lightly.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the vegetable oil, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Whisk until smooth and well combined.

Step 4

Add the eggs, one at a time, into the wet mixture, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

Fold in the shredded carrots and Greek yogurt into the wet mixture until evenly distributed.

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 7

Fold in the dried cranberries until evenly incorporated throughout the batter.

Step 8

Using a small cookie scoop or spoon, divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 14 to 16 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 10

Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tray for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Serve the mini carrot cranberry muffins warm or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
