Instructions
Creating Sugar Top Carrot Muffins is easy if you follow these steps:
1. Preheat Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line the muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt, ground cinnamon, and nutmeg. Stir well to combine.
3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the oil, grated carrots, eggs, yogurt, and vanilla extract until well incorporated.
4. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined; be careful not to overmix.
5. Fill Muffin Tin: Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about ¾ full.
6. Add Sugar Topping: Sprinkle about a teaspoon of sugar on top of each muffin.
7. Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
8. Cool: Remove from the oven and allow the muffins to cool in the tin for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Enjoy: Once cooled, serve them fresh or store them in an airtight container.
