Equipment

  • Muffin Tin
  • mixing bowls
  • whisk

Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 cups flour
  • 1 cups sugar
  • 0.5 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
  • 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 cups vegetable oil
  • 0.33 cups brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs at room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 cups finely grated carrots not pre-shredded

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line a muffin tin with paper or silicone cupcake liners (or grease well with cooking spray).
  • In a medium bowl whisk together flour, sugar, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  • In a large bowl combine oil, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla and mix well. Stir in grated carrots.
  • Stir dry ingredients into wet ingredients until completely incorporated.
  • Fill muffin liners ⅔ full.
  • Bake in preheated oven for 20-22 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center of the muffins comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to continue cooling.
  • Serve fresh or store in airtight container at room temperature up to 3 days, or in the fridge up to 2 weeks. Optional: reheat them in the microwave for about 15 seconds and spread a little butter on top for the ultimate breakfast treat.

Notes

For cinnamon lovers: Double the cinnamon! These can be made in mini muffin tins, simply reduce the time and pull them out when an inserted toothpick comes out clean besides a few moist crumbs.
