Carrot Muffins

Recipe Description

You need only 30 minutes to whip up these delicious Carrot Muffins! Flavored with cinnamon and ginger and packed with raisins and sweet carrots, these muffins are perfect for breakfast or an afternoon snack. Use unbleached all-purpose flour for a perfect crumb. Better than you could get at your local coffee shop! 

This recipe is dairy-free and uses vegetable oil to keep the muffins moist. While the oven preheats, prepare the batter. Whisk together the dry ingredients in a large bowl. Next, whisk together the wet ingredients in a large measuring cup. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, then fold in the grated carrots. Be sure not to overmix the batter. Divide the batter between the muffin cups, filling the cups almost to the top. Bake until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the muffins cool before serving. These are great on their own and would be delicious with a drizzle of honey on top. 

To make the Carrot Muffins, you will need the following ingredients:
