Instructions: Sweet potatoes and carrot muffins
Depending on the size of your veggies this recipe makes 15 – 18 cupcakes. Line your muffin pan with paper liners and preheat static oven to 190 °C.
Place sugar and oil in a bowl. Whisk using an electric mixer on medium speed until the sugar is dissolved (about 1 minute) then scrape down the sides of the bowl. Beat again on medium speed and add eggs (one at a time) for about 2 minutes for each egg.
Reduce the speed to medium low, add mashed sweet potato, and whisk until well combined for another 2 minutes.
Place flour, baking powder, baking soda, all the spices and salt in a large bowl and whisk to break any lumps. Set aside.
Turn the mixer to low speed, add grated carot and mix until just combined, then slowly add the flour mixture and stir in gently. Fold in any flour at the edges with a rubber spatula and make sure to scrape to the bottom of the bowl. Add the raisins and fold them in.
Divide the batter evenly among the muffin wells.
Place your muffin pan in the oven and bake for 20 – 25 minutes. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cupcakes comes out clean. Place the pan on wire racks and let them cool for 5 minutes. Remove the cupcakes from the pans and cool completely before serving.
