• Make a well in the middle of the dry ingredients and pour liquid ingredients in, stirring a few times with a wooden spoon or scraper to incorporate gently. Don't mix too much!
• Fold in shredded carrots, walnuts or pepitas, shredded coconut, and golden raisins. (Note: if you use bagged shredded carrots, you may want to coarsely chop them so the shreds don't stick out of your muffin).

• Bake for 18-20 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean.
• Wait patiently for a few minutes before popping your muffins out of the tin!
