Vegan Carrot Cake Muffins

Moist and delicious, my vegan carrot cake muffins are a yummy twist on classic carrot cake with the warmth of spices, the sweetness of carrots and raisins, and the crunch of walnuts. They are an easy to make recipe that’s perfect for any time of day.

Ingredients
 

  • 2 ⅓ cups flour (290 grams)
  • ¾ cup coconut sugar (150 grams)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ginger
  • Pinch of nutmeg
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ⅓ cup coconut oil
  • 1 cup almond milk
  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup grated carrots
  • ⅓ cup walnuts
  • ⅓ cup raisins

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease them.
  • In a large bowl, sift together the flour, coconut sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt. Whisk until everything is well combined.
  • In a separate bowl, stir together the coconut oil, almond milk, vinegar, and vanilla extract.
  • Gently mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. The batter may be a bit lumpy.
  • Fold in the grated carrots, walnuts, and raisins.
  • Pour the batter into a prepared pan and bake for about 22 to 24 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  1. Use a kitchen scale if possible for accurate measurements. If you don’t have one, use the spoon and level method for dry ingredients to avoid overpacking, especially the flour.
  2. Every oven is different. You can use a digital oven thermometer to ensure your oven is at the correct temperature.
  3. This recipe is flexible. Feel free to swap in your favorite add-ins like different nuts, seeds, or dried fruits to make it your own.
