Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F and generously grease a muffin tin with cooking spray, avoiding liners.
- Melt the coconut oil and allow it to cool to room temperature. Bring Greek yogurt and eggs to room temperature. Peel and grate the carrots using the large holes of a box grater.

- Mix in ground cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, salt, baking soda, and baking powder until fully combined.
- Switch to a wooden spoon and gently stir in the flour. Add grated carrots and mix until there are no dry streaks left, being careful not to overmix.
- Evenly divide the batter among the 12 muffin cups. If desired, sprinkle tops with brown sugar.
- Bake for 14–15 minutes or until the tops are golden and a toothpick comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
- Allow muffins to cool in the tin for 5–10 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
Notes
Ensure all wet ingredients are at the same temperature for smooth batter.
