Morning Glory Muffins

Steps

• Prep: Cover the raisins with hot water and let stand while you prep everything else, then drain well.

  Tip: Unsoaked raisins pull water from the batter around them, the same problem as anywhere else in this cookbook. This one has enough moisture sources already without adding a fourth.

• Prep: Heat the oven to 190°C (375°F) and line a 12-cup muffin tin.
• Dry: Whisk the flour, brown sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt together.
• Wet: Whisk the oil, eggs, and milk together.
• Combine: Fold the wet into the dry just until combined, then fold in the grated carrot, grated apple, drained raisins, coconut, and walnuts if using.

  Tip: The batter will look noticeably wetter than a standard muffin batter at this point — that's expected, given how much liquid the carrot and apple are contributing.

• Bake: Divide among the muffin cups and bake until a skewer comes out clean.
