👩‍🍳 Instructions

  1. 1
    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well.
  2. 2
    In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt until thoroughly combined.
  3. 3
    In a separate medium bowl, lightly whisk the eggs. Add the vegetable oil, plain Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.
  4. 4
    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Using a rubber spatula or wooden spoon, mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are fine.
  5. 5
    Gently fold in the finely grated carrots until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  6. 6
    Divide the batter evenly among the 12 prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  7. 7
    Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a wooden skewer or toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. 8
    Let the muffins cool in the muffin tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.

💡 Notes

For best results, use fresh, finely grated carrots. Store leftover muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage. Feel free to add ½ cup of raisins or chopped nuts if desired.
