Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups grated carrots
  • 1 cup chopped apple (peeled or unpeeled)
  • 1/2 cup raisins
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
  • 1/4 cup shredded unsweetened coconut (optional)

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, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and brown sugar. Add the eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Whisk until just combined.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix with a spatula until barely combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Gently fold in the grated carrots, chopped apple, raisins, nuts, and coconut, if using. Mix until the additions are evenly distributed.
  6. Divide the batter evenly among the 12 prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  7. Bake for 18 to 22 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.
  9. For freezer storage, cool completely, then wrap individually in plastic wrap before placing them in a freezer-safe bag.
