Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups grated carrots
  • 1 cup chopped apple
  • 1/2 cup raisins
  • 1/2 cup shredded unsweetened coconut
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease well.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until combined.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix with a spatula until just combined; do not overmix.
  5. Gently fold in the grated carrots, chopped apple, raisins, shredded coconut, and chopped nuts until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  6. Divide the batter evenly among the 12 prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  7. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  8. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For best results and maximum moisture, use freshly grated carrots and apples.
  • These muffins freeze well. Cool completely, then store in an airtight container or freezer bag for up to three months. Thaw overnight on the counter before serving.
  • If you prefer a less sweet muffin, reduce the total sugar by 1/4 cup.
