- In a separate bowl, combine the wet ingredients and sugars: 2 large eggs (lightly beaten), 3/4 cup sugar, 1/2 cup vegetable oil (or applesauce), and 2 tsp vanilla.
- Stir the 2 cups peeled, diced apple and 2 cups grated carrot or zucchini directly into the wet mixture.
- Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined, then fold in the 1 cup raisins.
Step 2: Baking
- Fill the prepared muffin cups 2/3 full with the batter.
- Bake at 325°F for 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean and the tops are lightly golden and springy to the touch.
