Soft & Moist Carrot Muffins
Description
This muffin recipe uses all-purpose flour, baking powder, and cinnamon as dry ingredients, mixed separately from a wet blend of vegetable oil, granulated sugar, and eggs. Finely shredded carrots and peeled shredded apple, along with raisins, are folded in gently just until incorporated to maintain a tender crumb.
Baked at 375°F in greased or lined muffin tins for 25 to 29 minutes, the muffins develop golden tops and a moist interior. The apple and carrot provide natural sweetness and moisture, the cinnamon offers warmth and spice, and the raisins add chewiness for texture contrast.
These muffins can be kept fresh at room temperature in a zippered bag or airtight container for up to 5 days, with a slice of bread inside to absorb excess moisture and maintain softness. Fully cooled muffins freeze well for up to 30 days in airtight bags, allowing convenient make-ahead options.

- 2 cups all-purpose flour
