Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 14-cup muffin tin by greasing each cup or lining with paper liners. (5 minutes)

02

Step

In a large bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice, and salt until well combined. (3 minutes)

03

Step

In a separate bowl, whisk together the vanilla yogurt, vegetable oil, honey, vanilla extract, and orange juice until smooth. Gently fold in the shredded carrots. (5 minutes)

04

Step

Pour the yogurt mixture into the flour mixture and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are perfectly fine. Gently fold in the raisins. (3 minutes)

05

Step

Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each one almost to the top. (5 minutes)

06

Step

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, approximately 12-13 minutes. (12-13 minutes)

07

Step

Let the muffins cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. (10 minutes)

For an extra touch of flavor, toast the raisins lightly before adding them to the batter.
Feel free to substitute applesauce for half of the vegetable oil for a lower-fat option.
These muffins are best enjoyed fresh, but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

    I found the muffins a little dry, so I added an extra tablespoon of orange juice. That did the trick!

    I added a streusel topping made with oats, flour, butter, and cinnamon. It made them extra special!
