instructions
Prepare the ingredients
1 Prepare the ingredients

Place an oven rack in the center of the oven, then preheat to 375°F. Wash and dry the carrots; peel, then grate on the large side of a box grater to get 1/2 cup (you will have extra). Small dice the pineapple. Roughly chop the walnuts. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, biscuit mix, baking powder, warming spices, and a pinch of salt.

Make the batter
2 Make the batter

Working in 30 second increments, melt half the butter in a large bowl in the microwave (or melt in a small pot on the stove, then transfer to a large bowl). Add the cream, sour cream, egg, and granulated sugar; whisk to thoroughly combine. Add the dry ingredients to the bowl of wet ingredients; using a spatula, gently mix until only no white streaks remain. Gently fold in the candied ginger, diced pineapple, chopped walnuts, and grated carrots until thoroughly combined.  

Bake the muffins
3 Bake the muffins

Lightly grease 9 rounds of a cupcake tin, or line with cupcake liners. (If you don’t have a cupcake tin, lightly grease a loaf pan.) Transfer the batter to the prepared tins (or loaf pan). Bake 16 to 20 minutes, or until the batter is cooked through and a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean. (For a loaf pan, bake 40 to 42 minutes, covering with foil halfway through, or until cooked through.) Remove from the oven. Let cool to room temperature.
