Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 2 pieces Large eggs
• 1 cup Crushed pineapple, drained
• 1 cup Finely shredded carrots
• 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
• 0.25 cup Milk
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Raisins
• 0.33 cup Chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.

Step 3

In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the eggs, crushed pineapple, shredded carrots, vegetable oil, milk, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 4

Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.

Step 5

Gently fold in the raisins and chopped nuts (if using).

Step 6

Using a spoon or ice cream scoop, divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 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

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

Step 9

Enjoy your Pineapple Carrot Raisin Muffins with a pat of butter or as-is. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days.
