Ingredients

3/4 cup all-purpose flour 

1/2 cup whole-wheat flour 

2 tablespoons wheat germ 

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 

1 teaspoon baking powder 

1/2 teaspoon baking soda 

1/8 teaspoon kosher salt 

1/3 cup vegetable oil 

1/3 cup buttermilk 

2 large eggs 

3/4 cup light brown sugar 

2 cups finely grated carrots (4-5 carrots) 

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Line a standard muffin tin with paper cups.

Whisk flours, wheat germ, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl. Whisk remaining ingredients in a separate bowl. Fold dry ingredients into wet and mix until just combined.

Spoon batter into cups.

Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean, about 22 minutes. Cool in pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool slightly before serving.
