Ingredients 

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1.5 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups grated carrots
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 0.5 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, beat the eggs and sugar until well combined. Add the oil and vanilla extract, and mix well.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Fold in the grated carrots.
  5. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about ⅔ full.
  6. Bake for 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
