Ingredients

1 cup butter
1 cup white sugar
3 eggs
2 cups grated zucchini
1 cup grated carrots
3 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons ground nutmeg
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon baking powder
½ cup raisins
½ cup chopped walnuts

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease two 12-cup muffin tins or line cups with paper liners.
Combine butter, sugar, and eggs in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer until creamy. Beat in zucchini, carrots, and vanilla extract.
Combine flour, nutmeg, cinnamon, salt, baking soda, and baking powder in a separate bowl. Mix into the creamed butter mixture. Stir in raisins and walnuts. Pour batter into the greased muffin cups.
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 17 minutes.
