"BUNNY MATE" (CARROT MUFFINS)
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Farenheit. Line 24 standard muffin cups with paper baking cups. Combine flour, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda, salt, all-spice, nutmeg and ginger in a medium bowl. Combine grated carrots and buttermilk in a small bowl. Mix well. Beat butter and sugar in a large mixing bowl with an electric mixer at medium speed until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Alternately add in the flour mixture and carrot mixture beating well after each addition. Spoon batter into prepared muffin cups filling two thirds full. Bake for 20 to 22 minutes or until toothpick inserted into centers comes out clean. Serve hot or you may cool muffins and serve with your favorite toppings/frosting.
Tips:
- Choose the right carrots: For the best flavor and texture, use fresh, sweet carrots. Avoid carrots that are woody or have brown spots.
- Grate the carrots finely: This will help them blend into the muffins evenly and create a moist, tender crumb.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the muffins tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Use a muffin pan with a non-stick coating: This will help the muffins release easily from the pan.
- Fill the muffin cups about 2/3 full: This will allow the muffins to rise properly without overflowing.
- Bake the muffins at a high temperature: This will help them develop a golden brown crust and a fluffy interior.
- Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack: This will help them set and prevent them from breaking.
