Description

These simple carrot cake mix muffins are moist, delicious, and so easy to make!


Ingredients

Units
  • Spice Cake Mix: 1 box (15.25 ounces)
  • Milk: 3/4 cup
  • Butter: 1/3 cup
  • Eggs: 3
  • Carrots: 2 cups, shredded
  • Crushed Pineapple: 1 can (8 ounces), drained
  • Pecans or walnuts: 1 cup, chopped


Instructions

  1. Prepare: Preheat the oven to 350°F and prepare a muffin pan with muffin liners.
  2. Make the muffin batter: To a large mixing bowl, combine the spice cake mix, milk, melted butter, and eggs and mix together with an electric hand mixer. Fold in the shredded carrots, crushed pineapple, and chopped pecans.
  3. Bake the muffins: Pour the muffin batter into the liners, filling them 3/4 full. Bake them on the middle rack for 20-22 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Notes

Avoid overmixing the muffin batter to avoid a dense texture. 

You don't need to squeeze out any liquid from the carrots with this recipe. The baking time accounts for the right amount of moisture, and makes the muffins perfectly moist. 

For a toasted nut flavour, you may consider roasting the nuts before adding them to the muffin batter.
