 Step-by-Step Recipe

 Step 1: Preheat the Oven

 Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
 Line a muffin tray with paper liners or lightly grease it.

 Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients

 In a large bowl, combine:

• Flour
• Baking powder
• Baking soda
• Cinnamon
• Nutmeg

 Whisk well so the spices spread evenly.

 In another bowl:

• Add brown sugar and oil
• Mix until smooth

 Add eggs one at a time and whisk well.
 Stir in vanilla extract and milk.

 Step 4: Add the Carrots

 Fold the grated carrots into the wet mixture.

 This keeps the muffins moist and flavorful!

 Step 5: Combine Wet & Dry Mixtures

 Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients.
 Gently fold together until just combined.

 Avoid overmixing so the muffins stay soft.

 Step 6: Fill the Muffin Tray

 Spoon batter into muffin cups until about ¾ full.

 Optional: Sprinkle a little cinnamon sugar on top.

 Step 7: Bake

 Bake for 18–22 minutes until:
 Muffins are golden on top
 A toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean

 Step 8: Cool & Enjoy

 Let muffins cool for 5 minutes in the tray.
 Transfer to a rack to cool completely.

 Enjoy warm with tea or coffee!
