Carrot Cake Muffins Recipe Ingredients

•  2 cups grated carrots
•  1 cup all purpose flour
•  1/2 cup whole wheat flour
•  1 teaspoon baking powder
•  1/2 teaspoon baking soda
•  1/2 teaspoon salt
•  1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
•  1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
•  1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
•  1/2 cup melted butter
•  1/2 cup brown sugar
•  1/4 cup granulated sugar
•  2 large eggs
•  1 teaspoon vanilla extract
•  1/2 cup drained crushed pineapple
•  1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)
•  Cream cheese frosting (optional)

Instructions

• Heat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and put paper liners in a muffin tin.
• Mix grated carrots, all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger in a big bowl. Mix well.
• Whisk together melted butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
• Slowly add the wet and dry ingredients, stirring gently until mixed. Refrain from mixing too much, or the muffins can become heavy.

• Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until a toothpick in the center comes clean. Keep an eye on them to avoid overbaking.
• Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before cooling them on a wire rack.

 Why do SGEats suggest keeping Eggs at room temperature? for Carrot Cake Muffins Recipe 

Bringing eggs to room temperature before using them in recipes helps them mix better with other ingredients. Cold eggs can cause some ingredients, like butter, to solidify, making it harder to achieve a uniform mixture. When beaten, room temperature eggs also trap more air, contributing to lighter and fluffier baked goods.
