How to Make Carrot Muffins With Raisins And Dried Pineapple

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease well.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs.
  3. Add 1 cup buttermilk, 1/2 cup vegetable oil, 1/2 cup honey, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Whisk until thoroughly combined.
  4. Grate 2 cups carrots and add them to the wet ingredients along with 1/2 cup raisins, 1/2 cup chopped pecans, and 1/2 cup chopped dried pineapple. Stir gently to combine.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking soda, 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Fill each muffin cup about 2/3 full.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let cool in the muffin tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Optional: Top with your favorite cream cheese frosting for an extra decadent treat!
