Ingredients
Scale
- Cooking spray
- 1/2 cup honey
- 2 large eggs at room temp
- 1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup honey vanilla Greek yogurt at room temp
- 1/3 cup melted coconut oil at room temp
- 1-1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1-3/4 cups flour
- 2 cups grated carrots, peeled & grated on large holes
- 3 tablespoons light brown sugar (optional, for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F and generously grease a muffin tin without using liners.
- Melt the coconut oil and let it cool to room temperature. Bring Greek yogurt and eggs to room temperature while you prepare the other ingredients.
- Peel and grate the carrots using the large holes of a box grater. It's crucial that all wet ingredients are at the same temperature for a smooth batter.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine honey, eggs, vanilla, and Greek yogurt. Whisk together until smooth.
- Slowly stream in the coconut oil while whisking to combine thoroughly.
- Add the ground cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, salt, baking soda, and baking powder. Whisk until well incorporated.
- Switch to a wooden spoon and stir in the flour gently, then fold in the grated carrots. Mix just until there are no dry streaks, being careful not to overmix.
- Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups. If desired, top with light brown sugar.
- Bake for 14–15 minutes, or until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
- Allow muffins to cool in the tin for 5–10 minutes before gently transferring them to a cooling rack.
Notes
Ensure all your wet ingredients are at room temperature for the best batter consistency.
Feel free to adjust the spices according to your taste preferences.
Optional: Add nuts or raisins for extra texture and flavor.
