Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Mix-Ins
  • 1 cup finely grated carrots
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped apple
  • 1/2 cup raisins
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
  • 1/4 cup shredded unsweetened coconut optional

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until evenly mixed.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined, avoiding overmixing.
  5. Fold in the grated carrots, chopped apple, raisins, chopped nuts, and coconut if using, making sure everything is well mixed.
  6. Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  7. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Store the muffins at room temperature for a couple of days or refrigerate if your kitchen is warm. They can also be frozen for grab-and-go breakfasts.
