These carrot muffins are soft, moist, and full of warm spices and shredded carrots. They’re perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a healthy snack on the go. With simple pantry ingredients and no mixer required, you’ll want to make these again and again!
1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
1 ½ tsp ground cinnamon
¼ tsp ground nutmeg
½ cup brown sugar, packed
¼ cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
½ cup vegetable oil (or melted coconut oil)
¼ cup milk (any kind)
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 ½ cups finely grated carrots (about 2–3 medium carrots)
Optional: ½ cup chopped walnuts or raisins
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin pan with paper liners or grease it lightly.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
In a separate bowl, mix the brown sugar, granulated sugar, eggs, oil, milk, and vanilla until smooth.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined—don’t overmix.
Fold in the grated carrots and any optional add-ins like walnuts or raisins.
Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.
Bake for 20–22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
These muffins freeze well—just wrap them tightly and freeze for up to 2 months.
You can make them a little healthier by using whole wheat flour or swapping the oil for applesauce.
For extra flavor, try adding a bit of orange zest to the batter.
