How to Make Pineapple Carrot Raisin Muffins

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and ½ teaspoon ground ginger.
  3. Add 1 cup grated carrots, ½ cup raisins, and ½ cup chopped almonds to the dry ingredients. Gently stir to combine.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: 1 (20 ounce) can crushed pineapple (undrained), 2 large eggs, ½ cup (1 stick) melted unsalted butter, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Fill the prepared muffin cups about ¾ full.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. For extra crispy tops, bake for a few minutes longer.
  8. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
