Servings: persons

2 cups all-purpose flour
½ cup sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground ginger
¼ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
⅓ cup packed light brown sugar
⅔ cup flavorless oil, such as canola, safflower, or corn
2 large eggs
¾ cup whole milk
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup shredded carrot (about 3, peeled and trimmed)
½ cup shredded sweetened coconut
⅓ cup moist plump currants (optional) or ⅓ cup raisins (optional)
⅓ cup pecans (optional) or ⅓ cup walnuts, toasted, cooled and chopped (optional)

1
Center a rack in the oven and preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Butter, spray, or line muffin pan.
2
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, baking soda and salt.
3
Stir in the brown sugar, making certain there are no lumps.
4
In a large glass measuring cup or another bowl, whisk the oil, eggs, milk and vanilla extract together until well combined.
5
Pour the liquid ingredients over the dry ingredients, and with the whisk or a rubber spatula, gently but quickly stir to blend.
6
Don't worry about being thorough- a few lumps are better than overmixing the batter.
7
Stir in the carrots, coconut, currants, and nuts.
8
Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups.
9
Bake for about 20 minutes, or until a thin knife inserted into the center of the muffins comes out clean.
10
Transfer the pan to a rack and cool for 5 minutes before carefully removing each muffin from its mold.
