Description

Deliciously fluffy cruffins infused with the flavors of classic carrot cake.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup grated carrots
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 cup raisins (optional)
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)


Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a muffin tin.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  3. In another bowl, mix the melted butter, buttermilk, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Fold in the grated carrots, raisins, and walnuts if using.
  5. Roll out the dough on a floured surface and cut into rectangles. Roll each rectangle into a cylinder and place it in the muffin tin.
