Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 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
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup plain yogurt or applesauce
  • 2 cups grated carrots
  • 1 cup finely chopped apple (about 1 medium apple)
  • 1/2 cup raisins
  • 1/2 cup shredded unsweetened coconut
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups well.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until combined.
  4. Stir the yogurt or applesauce into the wet ingredients.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix gently until just combined; do not overmix.
  6. Fold in the grated carrots, chopped apple, raisins, shredded coconut, and chopped nuts until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  7. Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  8. Bake for 20 to 24 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For a healthier option, substitute half of the all-purpose flour with oat flour.
  • You can freeze these muffins once cooled. Wrap them individually in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer-safe bag for up to three months. Thaw overnight on the counter or reheat briefly in the microwave.
  • If you prefer a less sweet muffin, reduce the total sugar by 1/4 cup.
