Ingredients
1 ΒΎ cups white whole wheat flour or regular whole wheat flour
1 Β½ teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Β½ teaspoon baking soda
Β½ teaspoon salt
Β½ teaspoon ground ginger
ΒΌ teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 cups peeled and grated carrots (about 3 large or up to 6 small/medium)
Β½ cup roughly chopped walnuts
Β½ cup raisins (tossed with 1 teaspoon flour)
β cup melted coconut oil or extra-virgin olive oil
Β½ cup maple syrup or honey
2 eggs, preferably at room temperature
1 cup plain Greek yogurt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon turbinado sugar for sprinkling on top
Instructions
1-First, preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit and grease a muffin tin if needed. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda, salt, ginger, and nutmeg.
2-Next, toss the raisins with 1 teaspoon flour, then stir in the grated carrots, walnuts, and raisins. In a separate bowl, whisk the oil and maple syrup, then add the eggs, yogurt, and vanilla extract, warming the mixture if the oil solidifies. Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ones, stirring gently until just mixed, and divide the batter evenly into 12 muffin cups.
3-Sprinkle the tops with turbinado sugar and bake for 13 to 16 minutes, or until golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Once baked, cool the muffins on a rack and store them covered at room temperature for up to two days, refrigerated for up to four days, or frozen for up to three months. This process takes about 15 minutes to prep and 13 minutes to cook, for a total of approximately 28 minutes.
