Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350&# 194;°F (175ðC). Grease 24 muffin cups or line with paper liners.

  6. Add 3 cups finely grated carrots to the wet mixture and stir to combine.
  7. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently fold together until just moistened; do not overmix.
  8. Fold in 1 cup raisins or currants.
  9. Divide batter evenly among prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
