Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.75 cups granulated sugar
• 0.25 cups light brown sugar, packed
• 2 teaspoons baking soda
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons ground nutmeg
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 1.5 cups shredded carrots
• 1 cups shredded apple (peeled)
• 0.5 cups shredded unsweetened coconut
• 0.5 cups chopped walnuts or pecans
• 0.5 cups raisins
• 3 large eggs
• 0.75 cups vegetable oil
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 0.5 cups crushed pineapple, drained

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease each cup well with cooking spray.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, light brown sugar, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt until evenly combined.

Step 3

Stir in the shredded carrots, shredded apple, shredded coconut, chopped walnuts or pecans, and raisins until evenly distributed throughout the dry mixture.

Step 4

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and drained crushed pineapple until well blended.

Step 5

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture. Gently fold everything together with a spatula just until combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this could make the muffins dense.

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the muffin tin from the oven and allow the muffins to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Serve warm or at room temperature. These muffins can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or they can be frozen for up to 3 months.
