Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour This is the base of your muffins, giving them structure and a light texture.
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda This helps the muffins rise and become fluffy.
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder Another leavening agent that encourages the muffins to puff up beautifully.
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt Enhances all the flavors.
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon Adds warmth and a comforting aroma.
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg Adds a delightful depth of flavor.

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup brown sugar Rich, caramel-like sweetness.
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar Balances the brown sugar while adding sweetness.
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil Keeps the muffins moist.
  • 2 large eggs Provides structure and richness.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Rounds everything out with a warm flavor.

Mix-Ins

  • 1/2 cup raisins Contributes bursts of sweetness.

  • 1/2 cup shredded coconut Provides a chewy texture.

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.

Mix Dry Ingredients

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, ground cinnamon, and nutmeg.

Mix Wet Ingredients

  • In another bowl, mix together the brown sugar, granulated sugar, and vegetable oil until well-blended. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, stirring until smooth.

Add Mix-Ins

  • Fold in the grated carrots, raisins, walnuts, and shredded coconut into the wet mixture.

Combine Mixtures

  • Slowly fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined.

Fill Muffin Cups

  • Carefully fill each muffin cup about three-quarters full with the batter.

Bake

  • Bake for 20-25 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Cool

  • Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

If desired, toast the walnuts lightly before adding them to the batter for enhanced flavor. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for 2-3 days, or freeze for up to a month.
