The Best Carrot and Raisin Cottage Cheese Muffins Recipe

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until thoroughly combined. Set aside.
3. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, brown sugar, and white sugar vigorously until slightly pale. Whisk in the oil, vanilla extract, and cottage cheese until just smooth.
4. Pour the dry ingredient mixture into the wet mixture. Gently fold together with a rubber spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; a few streaks of flour are acceptable.
5. Gently fold in the grated carrots and raisins until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
6. Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling them about ¾ full.
7. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes. Then, immediately reduce the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C) and continue baking for another 15–19 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean.
8. Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
