I can't keep these carrot muffins around! I run a day care and was looking for a tasty, low-sugar snack to feed the kids, so I came up with this recipe. Now the parents ask for the recipe! Frost with the Brown Sugar Cream Cheese Frosting recipe on this site.

Ingredients

1 cup raisins
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 cup vegetable oil
¾ cup brown sugar
4 large eggs
3 cups shredded carrots

Directions

Soak raisins in 2 cups water in a small bowl for 15 minutes. Drain and set aside.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 18 standard muffin cups with paper liners.
Sift flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon together in a bowl.
Beat oil, brown sugar, and eggs in a large bowl with an electric mixer until well combined. Gradually mix in flour mixture, then fold in carrots and drained raisins. Spoon into the prepared muffin cups.
Bake in the preheated oven until tops spring back when lightly pressed, 20 to 30 minutes. Cool in the tins for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
