2 eggs, preferably at room temperature

½ cup maple syrup

⅓ cup melted coconut oil or extra-virgin olive oil

½ cup raisins (I like golden raisins), tossed in 1 teaspoon flour

½ cup roughly chopped walnuts

2 cups peeled and grated carrots* (that's potentially a lot of carrots-about 3 large or up to 6 small/medium)

½ teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1½ teaspoons baking powder

1¾ cups white whole wheat flour or regular whole wheat flour

Steps

Showing 2 out of 5 Steps

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda, salt, ginger and nutmeg. Blend well with a whisk. In a separate, small bowl, toss the raisins with 1 teaspoon flour so they don't stick together. Add the grated carrots, chopped walnuts and floured raisins to the other ingredients and stir to combine.
Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. If necessary, grease all 12 cups on your muffin tin with butter or non-stick cooking spray (my pan is non-stick and doesn’t require any grease).
