Carrot Muffins or Mini Carrot Loaf
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup sugar
- 3 carrots, grated
- 1 1/3 cup flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 3/4 tsp nutmeg or allspice
- 1/4 tsp ginger
- 1 cup raisins, soaked for 10 minutes, drained
Instructions
Beat oil, eggs and sugar until blended. Stir in finely grated carrots. In another bowl combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. Pour liquids and carrot/raisins into dry ingredients. Stir only to moisten the batter. Scoop into muffin tins. Bake in a 350 F oven for 15 to 20 minutes. I bought some of those miniature loaf tins at Christmastime. The last time I made this muffin batter I poured it into the mini-loaf tins and baked them in a 350 F oven for 20 to 25 minutes. This made six mini carrot loaves.
