How to Make Cha Ching Carrot Spice Muffins

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: 1 ½ cups whole wheat flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg, ½ teaspoon ground ginger, and ¼ teaspoon ground allspice.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine the wet ingredients: ½ cup honey or brown sugar, 1 large egg, ½ cup buttermilk or plain yogurt, ¼ cup vegetable oil, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 cup grated carrots, ½ cup raisins, and ½ cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans recommended).
  4. Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Fill each muffin liner about ¾ full.
  6. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Start checking for doneness around 15 minutes.
  7. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
