1 cup vegetable oil, plus extra for the pan (see Cook's Note)
3 extra-large eggs
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
2 cups grated carrots, unpeeled and grated on a box grater
1 Granny Smith apple, unpeeled and grated on a box grater
1 (8-ounce) can crushed pineapple, drained
1/2 cup pecans, roughly chopped
1/2 cup sweetened shredded coconut
1/2 cup raisins

In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir just until combined.

Tips:

  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Opt for fresh carrots, pineapple, and apples for optimal flavor and texture. Freshly grated carrots provide a more vibrant color and better consistency.

  • Muffin Pan Preparation: Grease or line muffin cups with paper liners to prevent sticking. This ensures easy removal and presentation.
  • Baking Time and Temperature: Bake the muffins at 350°F for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Every oven is different, so adjust the baking time accordingly.
  • Variations: Feel free to customize the muffins by adding different mix-ins like raisins, cranberries, or chocolate chips. You can also switch up the spices for a unique flavor profile.
  • Storage: Store the muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze the muffins for up to 2 months.
