Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • ½ tsp salt
Wet Ingredients
  • 2 large eggs
  • ¾ cup brown sugar
  • ½ cup sugar
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
Fruits & Nuts
  • 1 cup grated carrots
  • 1 medium apple, peeled and grated
  • ½ cup chopped walnuts (optional)
  • ½ cup raisins (optional)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a muffin tin by greasing it or lining it with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, beat together the eggs, brown sugar, sugar, and vegetable oil until well combined.
  4. Stir in the grated carrots, grated apple, and any optional mix-ins like walnuts or raisins into the wet mixture.
  5. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix.
  6. Spoon the batter evenly into the muffin tin, filling each cup about ¾ full.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For extra moisture, try adding a tablespoon of Greek yogurt to your batter. If you want to cut back on sugar, consider using honey or maple syrup instead, adjusting liquid ingredients as necessary. Overmixing can lead to dense muffins, so stir gently until just combined.
