Mini Spiced Carrot Muffins image

The Indian spice-mix garam masala gives these muffins a delicious and grown-up twist. I love using bright, festive mini-muffin liners, they remind me of a Holi party, the Hindu festival of colors.

Time 1h10m

Yield 48 mini muffins

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon garam masala
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 cup light brown sugar
1 cup finely shredded carrots (about 3 small carrots)
3/4 cup yogurt
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup golden raisins, plumped in hot water and drained
1/4 cup shredded sweetened coconut
1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
2 large eggs
Turbinado sugar for sprinkling, optional

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and center an oven rack. Line a mini-muffin tray with your favorite liners.
  • Combine the flour, baking powder, garam masala, salt and baking soda in a large bowl. Work in the brown sugar with your fingers.
  • Whisk together the carrots, yogurt, oil, raisins, coconut, ginger, zest and eggs in a separate bowl.
  • Stir the wet ingredients into the dry until just combined (don't fret if the batter has lumps).
  • Grease a small 1 1/4-inch ice-cream scoop with nonstick spray and fill the liners about 3/4 of the way to the top. Sprinkle with turbinado sugar, if using.
  • Bake until a toothpick inserted in the muffins comes out clean and the tops spring back when touched, 14 to 16 minutes. Rotate the trays front to back and top to bottom about halfway through baking to ensure even baking. Let the muffins rest in the hot muffin pan 3 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack and let cool 30 minutes.

These muffins were a great way to use up leftover carrots. They were easy to make and turned out perfectly. I'll definitely be making them again!

These muffins were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would reduce the amount of sugar next time.

These carrot muffins were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I would add an extra egg or some applesauce next time to make them more moist.

I've made these muffins several times now and they're always a hit! They're moist, flavorful, and the perfect size for a grab-and-go snack. I often add raisins or chopped nuts for a little extra texture and flavor.

These carrot muffins were a delicious and healthy snack! I loved that they were easy to make and packed with flavor. I added a bit of extra cinnamon and nutmeg to give them a warm, autumnal flavor. They were perfect for a quick breakfast or afternoon
