Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 2.2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 0.6 cup granulated sugar
  • 0.2 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 2 tsp baking soda
  • 0.75 tsp baking powder
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 0.5 tsp ground ginger
  • 0.75 tsp fine salt
  • 2 cup shredded carrots, lightly packed
  • 1 cup shredded tart apple, peeled
  • 0.5 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 0.5 cup raisins
  • 0.5 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
  • 0.67 cup crushed pineapple, well drained
  • 5.5 oz beaten eggs about 3 large eggs
  • 0.6 cup neutral oil (canola or vegetable)
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 0.25 cup orange juice
  • 1 tsp fresh orange zest

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with liners or grease lightly.
  • Whisk flour, both sugars, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, and salt in a large bowl.
  • In another bowl, whisk beaten eggs, oil, vanilla, orange juice, and zest until smooth.
  • Pour wet ingredients into dry. Stir gently until just combined; a few dry streaks are fine.
  • Fold in carrots, apple, coconut, raisins, nuts, and pineapple until evenly distributed.
  • Rest batter 5 minutes to hydrate, then divide among cups, filling almost to the top.
  • Bake 20–24 minutes, until golden and a tester comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  • Cool 5 minutes in the pan, then transfer muffins to a rack to finish cooling.

Notes

Swap-ins: Try dried cranberries instead of raisins, or use half whole wheat flour for a heartier crumb. A sprinkle of coarse sugar on top adds crunch.
Storage: Keep airtight at room temperature for 2 days, refrigerate up to 5 days, or freeze up to 3 months.
