The Indian spice-mix garam masala gives these muffins a delicious and grown-up twist. I love using bright, festive mini-muffin liners, they remind me of a Holi party, the Hindu festival of colors.

Time 1h10m

Yield 48 mini muffins

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon garam masala
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 cup light brown sugar
1 cup finely shredded carrots (about 3 small carrots)
3/4 cup yogurt
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup golden raisins, plumped in hot water and drained
1/4 cup shredded sweetened coconut
1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
2 large eggs
Turbinado sugar for sprinkling, optional

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and center an oven rack. Line a mini-muffin tray with your favorite liners.
  • Combine the flour, baking powder, garam masala, salt and baking soda in a large bowl. Work in the brown sugar with your fingers.
  • Whisk together the carrots, yogurt, oil, raisins, coconut, ginger, zest and eggs in a separate bowl.
  • Stir the wet ingredients into the dry until just combined (don't fret if the batter has lumps).
  • Grease a small 1 1/4-inch ice-cream scoop with nonstick spray and fill the liners about 3/4 of the way to the top. Sprinkle with turbinado sugar, if using.
  • Bake until a toothpick inserted in the muffins comes out clean and the tops spring back when touched, 14 to 16 minutes. Rotate the trays front to back and top to bottom about halfway through baking to ensure even baking. Let the muffins rest in the hot muffin pan 3 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack and let cool 30 minutes.

I love that these muffins are made with whole wheat flour. They're a healthier choice than traditional muffins.

I'm not a big fan of carrots, but I actually really enjoyed these muffins. They're moist and flavorful, and the spices are just right.

The muffins were a bit dry. I think I should have added more oil or butter.

These muffins are a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll reduce the amount of sugar next time.

These carrot muffins were moist, flavorful, and perfectly spiced. The glaze added a touch of sweetness that balanced out the spices nicely. I will definitely be making these again!
