Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 cup milk
- 0.5 cups vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 units large eggs
- 1 cup grated carrots
- 0.5 cups chopped walnuts (optional)
- 0.5 cups raisins (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it with non-stick spray.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon until well combined.
Step 3
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the milk, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and eggs until smooth.
Step 4
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Do not overmix—the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Step 5
Fold in the grated carrots, chopped walnuts, and raisins (if using) until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Step 6
Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tins, filling each cup about two-thirds full.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 18–22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Step 8
Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 9
Serve warm or at room temperature with butter, jam, or your favorite spread.
