Deliciously moist carrot cake muffins made with finely grated carrots, warm spices, and a tender crumb. These muffins are perfect for a quick breakfast or a sweet snack and are easy to prepare using simple pantry ingredients.

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 ¾ cups All Purpose Flour
  • 1 cup Light Brown Sugar
  • 1 ½ tsp Baking Powder
  • 1 tsp Baking Soda
  • ¼ tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Cinnamon
  • ½ tsp Nutmeg

Wet Ingredients

  • ¾ cup Vegetable Oil
  • ½ cup Whole Milk
  • 2 cups Carrots (finely grated, squeezed out, and lightly packed)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350 °F (175 °C) and place muffin liners in your muffin tin to prepare for baking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, stir together the all-purpose flour, light brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well combined.
  3. Add Wet Ingredients: Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the vegetable oil and whole milk.
  4. Combine Batter: Stir the mixture until a batter forms, ensuring there are no more dry spots. Then gently fold in the finely grated and squeezed carrots until evenly distributed.
  5. Fill Muffin Liners: Spoon about ¼ cup of the batter into each prepared muffin liner, filling them evenly.
  6. Bake: Bake the muffins in the preheated oven for approximately 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and the tops are lightly golden.
  7. Cool and Serve: Allow the muffins to cool slightly in the tin before transferring them to a wire rack or serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!

Notes

  • Make sure to squeeze out excess moisture from the grated carrots to prevent the batter from becoming too wet.
  • You can add chopped nuts or raisins for extra texture and flavor if desired.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute whole milk with almond or oat milk.
  • Store leftover muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
  • Reheat muffins briefly in the microwave or oven to enjoy warm.
