Morning Glory Muffins
Ingredients
1 cup vegetable oil, plus extra for the pan (see Cook’s Note)
3 extra-large eggs
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
2 cups grated carrots, unpeeled and grated on a box grater
1 Granny Smith apple, unpeeled and grated on a box grater
1 (8-ounce) can crushed pineapple, drained
1/2 cup pecans, roughly chopped
1/2 cup sweetened shredded coconut
1/2 cup raisins
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/4 cups sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon kosher salt
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and arrange two racks evenly spaced in the oven. Line two muffin pans with paper muffin cups.
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, oil, and vanilla. Add the carrots, apple, pineapple, pecans, coconut, and raisins and stir together. In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir just until combined.
Scoop the batter with a standard (2 1/4-inch) ice cream scoop into the prepared muffin cups. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean.
Place the pans on a baking rack to cool and serve the muffins warm or at room temperature.
