Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 375°F and line two 12-cup standard muffin pans with baking cups; spray baking cups lightly with cooking spray. For the crumb topping, combine pecans, brown sugar, and flour in a small bowl; add melted coconut oil and toss mixture with a fork until crumbly. Chill topping in the freezer until needed.
  • Combine golden raisins and warm water in a small bowl and let soak for 10 minutes. Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and cloves in a large bowl; make a well in the center of the mixture. Combine yogurt, milk, eggs, coconut oil, vanilla, orange zest, sugar, and brown sugar in a medium bowl; add to flour mixture and stir just until almost incorporated. Add raisins (with liquid), pecans, coconut, and carrot, and fold in gently just until incorporated.
  • Fill each baking cup 3/4 full and sprinkle with crumb topping. Bake for about 18 minutes, until muffins spring back to the touch and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few crumbs attached. Let muffins cool in pan on a wire rack for 2 minutes before removing from pan to serve or cool completely.
  • Store leftover muffins in an airtight container at room temperature up to 2 days, or individually wrap muffins in plastic wrap and freeze in a large freezer bag.
