Ingredients:
- 2 1/4 cups flour
- 1 1/4 cups sugar
- 3 tsp cinnamon
- 2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 3 eggs
- 3/4 cup applesauce
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup grated carrots
- 2 tart apples, diced
- 1 cup crushed pineapple
- 1 cup raisins
- 1 cup chopped walnuts
- 1/2 cup flaked coconut
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Dry Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt.
-
Prepare the Wet Ingredients:
- In another bowl, whisk together eggs, applesauce, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until well combined.
-
Prepare the Fruit Mixture:
- In a separate bowl, mix grated carrots, diced apples, crushed pineapple, raisins, chopped walnuts, and flaked coconut.
-
Combine the Ingredients:
- Add the egg mixture to the dry ingredients and mix gently until partially incorporated. It’s important not to overmix at this stage.
-
Incorporate the Fruit:
- Carefully fold in the fruit mixture into the egg-flour mixture, using as few strokes as possible. Ensure the batter is just moistened and the fruit is evenly distributed.
-
Avoid Overmixing:
- Remember, the key to light, fluffy muffins is to avoid overmixing. Let the ingredients mingle with just the right amount of stirring.
-
Fill the Muffin Cups:
- Grease your muffin cups and fill them two-thirds full with the batter. This ensures perfectly sized muffins once they rise during baking.
-
Bake to Perfection:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the muffins for 20-24 minutes. To check for doneness, insert a toothpick into the center of a muffin—if it comes out clean, they’re ready!
