How do you make Carrot Raisin Muffins?

Start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray or line with paper liners. I chose to use liners. 

In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg. Next, combine the eggs, sugar and oil in a medium bowl and whisk until smooth. 

Add the liquid mixture to the dry mixture along with the shredded carrots and raisins; then mix well. Divide the mixture among the 12 muffin cups; approximately ¾ of the way full for each. 

Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. Allow to cool before serving. 

Storing

You can store these carrot raisin muffins sealed in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
