Ingredients
- 1/3 cup butter melted
- 1 cup brown sugar packed
- 1 egg at room temperature, large
- 1/2 cup buttermilk at room temperature
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 ½ cups carrot from about 4 medium carrots, grated
- 1/2 cup coconut shredded
- ¼ cup golden raisins
- 1/2 cup pecans chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 F. Line 14 muffin tin cups with paper liners or grease with nonstick baking spray. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter, brown sugar, egg, buttermilk, and vanilla until well-combined.
- Add flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Stir in just until combined. Don't overmix.
- Stir in carrots, coconut, raisins, and pecans just until incorporated.
- Divide batter among muffin tins.
- Bake about 18-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a cupcake comes out clean.
- Let cool in muffin tin for about 5-10 minutes and then remove to a wire rack to finish cooling.
Notes
- Butter: Feel free to use salted or unsalted butter. If you prefer, you can use 1/4 cup of oil (like vegetable or melted coconut oil) in place of the melted butter.
- Egg and buttermilk: It's important that the egg and buttermilk be at room temperature. Otherwise, they could cause the butter to re-solidify.
- Coconut: I like to use sweetened shredded coconut. If you like less sweet muffins, you can use unsweetened shredded coconut.
- Pecans: The pecans are optional. You can either omit them or replace them with additional raisins.
