Pineapple Carrot Raisin Muffins image

My father got muffins from a tenant of his (who happens to be a chef). My mom made my dad ask the chef if he would write down the recipe for her Then, My mom asked if I would make it, and I agreed with a sort of "ehhh, pineapple??" attitude. haha. Well, it's delicious! It's light and sweet. and I baked mine until they sort of got crsip around the edges (crunchy muffin tops are lovely in my opinion). The original recipe calls for walnuts, but I personally use chopped almonds instead.

CARROT RAISIN MUFFINS



Carrot Raisin Muffins image

These are really good. I got the orginial recipe from Sparkspeople but I made a few changes. I made mine gluten-free by using Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free All Purpose Flour (instead of the whole wheat flour), I used unsweetened applesauce (instead of oil to make it lower fat) and lastly I used vanilla flavored yogurt instead of plain. They were declared a huge hit by husband who has already inhaled 2 while I am typing this! ENJOY!

MIMI'S CARROT RAISIN BREAD (MUFFINS) RECIPE - (4.4/5)



Mimi's Carrot Raisin Bread (Muffins) Recipe - (4.4/5) image

Provided by luvs2cook

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup vegetable oil
1 1/2 cups brown sugar, firmly packed
3 eggs
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1/2 cup canned crushed pineapple, with juice, drained
1/2 cup raisins
1 cup finely shredded carrots

Steps:

  • 1. Sift flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon and salt into a mixing bowl. (or just dump them in and mix, I don't care) 2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the oil, sugar and eggs. 3. Stir the liquid mixture into the flour; mix well. 4. Add the walnuts, pineapple, raisins and carrots; stir again. 5. Grease and flour a 9" square pan or four mini-loaf pans. Fill the pans 2/3 full with batter. 6. Bake at 350 degrees F for about 40 minutes. (Mini-loaves take about 30 minutes).

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start baking, measure and prepare all your ingredients. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling.
  • Fresh is best: For the best flavor, use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This includes carrots, raisins, flour, sugar, and spices.
  • Grate your carrots finely: This will help them distribute evenly throughout the muffins and prevent them from becoming too chunky.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the muffins tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Fill the muffin cups no more than 2/3 full: This will allow the muffins to rise properly and prevent them from overflowing.
  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This usually takes about 20-25 minutes.
  • Let the muffins cool completely before frosting: This will help the frosting set properly.

Conclusion:
