1 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ginger

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin, or line it with papers and spray the insides of the papers.
In a small bowl, cover the raisins with hot water, and set them aside to soak while you assemble the rest of the recipe.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda, spices, and salt.
Stir in the carrots, apple, coconut, nuts, and pumpkin seeds.
In a separate bowl, beat together the eggs, oil, vanilla, and orange juice.
Add to the flour mixture, and stir until evenly moistened.
Drain the raisins and stir them in.
Divide the batter among the wells of the prepared pan.
Bake the muffins for 25 to 28 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center of one of the muffins comes out clean.
Remove from the oven, let cool in their pan for 5 minutes
