How to Make Carrot Cake Muffin Treats

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease well.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg, ½ teaspoon ground cloves, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup granulated sugar, ¾ cup vegetable oil, 2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 cup grated carrots.
  4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Fold in ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional).
  6. Fill each muffin cup about ¾ full.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
