Ingredients used in these Cinnamon Ginger Carrot Muffins

• Flour – I used one cup of whole wheat flour and one cup of all purpose flour in these muffins.
• Sugar – Coconut sugar was used to sweeten these, but you can use brown sugar as well.
• Cinnamon – I used 3 teaspoons of cinnamon to add a good amount of spice to these muffins.
• Ginger – Use ground ginger to add another level of flavour. Leave out if you don’t like ginger.
• Carrots – Shred the carrot finely. You’ll need 2.5 cups of shredded carrots.
• Eggs – I used three large eggs in this recipe.
• Olive oil – This adds moisture to the muffins. Avocado or melted coconut oil works as well.
• Vanilla – Use two teaspoons of pure vanilla extract here.
• Baking soda – You need 1.5 teaspoons of baking soda for these muffins.
• Salt – I used sea salt here.

How to make these Carrot Muffins

• Preheat the oven to 375° and line a muffin tin with paper cups or spritz with oil.
• In a large bowl, beat together the sugar and oil. Add in the eggs and vanilla. Mix until well combined.
• In a separate bowl, mix together all of the dry ingredients. This includes the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and ginger.
• Mix the wet ingredients in with the dry until just combined. Add in the carrots and mix evenly.
• Scoop the muffin batter into the muffin tin. I love using a large muffin scoop like this one to evenly scoop my batter!
• Bake for 15-18 minutes.
• Let them cool in the pan for five minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
