Spiced Zucchini and Carrot Muffins

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Spiced Zucchini and Carrot Muffins.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C).

2. Step 2

   While that warms up, take a moment to prepare your muffin pan by greasing 21 cups or lining them with cheerful paper liners.

3. Step 3

   In a large mixing bowl, grab your electric mixer and beat together the softened butter, white sugar, and eggs until the mixture is creamy and smooth, creating a delightful base for your muffins.

4. Step 4

   Next, introduce the grated zucchini, grated carrots, and a splash of vanilla extract to the butter mixture, mixing until everything is beautifully combined.

5. Step 5

   In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, ground nutmeg, ground cinnamon, salt, baking soda, and baking powder, letting the warm spices fill the air with their inviting aroma.

6. Step 6

   Gradually add this dry mixture to your wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined.

7. Step 7

   If you’re feeling adventurous, fold in some plump raisins and crunchy chopped walnuts for an extra burst of flavor and texture.

8. Step 8

   Now, it’s time to share the love—divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full to allow for a lovely rise.

9. Step 9

   Pop the muffin pan into your preheated oven and bake for around 17 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean, signaling that they’re perfectly baked.
