1 ½ teaspoons Baking Powder
1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
½ teaspoon Salt
2 Large Eggs
½ cup Vegetable Oil
1 ½ cups Grated Carrots (about 2 medium carrots)
½ cup Chopped Nuts (optional – walnuts or pecans work great)
½ cup Raisins (optional – soak them in warm water for 10 min if you want them extra plump)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease or line your muffin tin.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, and cinnamon.
- In another bowl, beat the eggs and oil until smooth. Stir in grated carrots and any optional add-ins like nuts or raisins.
- Gently fold the wet mixture into the dry ingredients until just combined—don’t overmix!
