CARROT-WALNUT MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Spray 20 muffin cups with nonstick cooking spray.
• Whisk 1 3/4 cups flour, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda, salt, ginger, and nutmeg together in a large bowl until well blended. Add grated carrots and walnuts and stir to combine.
• Place raisins in small bowl and sprinkle with 1 1/2 tablespoons flour. Mix with your hands until raisins are separated and coated in flour. Add to flour mixture and stir to combine. Discard any remaining flour.
• Whisk maple syrup and olive oil together in a medium bowl. Add eggs and whisk until well combined. Stir in yogurt and vanilla extract until well mixed. Pour yogurt mixture into the flour mixture and mix with a big spoon until just combined (a few lumps are okay.) Transfer batter into the prepared muffin cups and sprinkle the tops with turbinado sugar.
• Bake muffins in the preheated oven until golden on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 13 minutes. Place muffin tins on a cooling rack to cool.

CARROT WALNUT MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• I use muffin papers but you could grease muffin pans if you prefer. Depending on how full you make your muffin cups this recipe yields between 22-24 muffins, about 2 dozen.
• Mix dry ingredients in a large bowl
• Add oil and eggs to dry ingredients and stir until smooth.
• Fold in grated carrots until all of them are wet with the batter (it will look like a giant carrot mess with hardly any batter to hold it together just make sure all of the carrots contact batter) then add the nuts if you choose to use them.
• Scoop into muffin cups. I use a 1/2 cup measure and fill them all the way since these muffins don't rise very much.
• Take out when just starting to brown. This takes about 17-19 minutes in my oven then I turn the oven down to 325 for another 3-5 minutes to make sure the middles get all the way cooked.
• Do not eat until cooled at least partially. They are really wet and fall apart when hot but cool to a nice moist but firm texture if you don't over cook them and let them cool most of the way before you eat them. My family has hard time waiting but they are always better 20 minutes later.

CARROT-COCONUT MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners. Whisk the flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, ground ginger and salt in a large bowl; make a well in the center. Whisk the brown sugar, yogurt, coconut oil, eggs and vanilla in a small bowl; pour into the well in the flour mixture and stir until combined. Fold in the carrots, coconut, macadamia nuts and crystallized ginger.
• Divide the batter among the muffin cups, filling them three-quarters of the way. Bake until the muffins are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes. Let the muffins cool 5 minutes in the pan, then remove to a rack to cool completely.
• Meanwhile, make the glaze: Stir the confectioners' sugar with the water in a small bowl. Spread about 1 teaspoon glaze on each muffin and sprinkle with coconut.

ANYTIME YOGURT CARROT MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Coat a 6-cup muffin tin with a little bit of canola oil or use muffin liners.
• Mix together the flour, coconut sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl.
• Stir together the Greek yogurt, carrots, eggs and oil in a separate large bowl until incorporated. Add the raisins and stir to combine. Pour the yogurt mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients and stir, using a wooden spoon, until just incorporated. (But not TOO too much.)
• Use an ice cream scoop to evenly pack the mixture among six muffin cups. Bake until the tops are puffed and golden brown, 20 to 30 minutes.
• Let rest for a few minutes, then pop them out and eat as you want! Serve with butter if desired.
