Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line 14 cups of two 12-cup muffin tins with baking cups, and lightly coat each with cooking spray.
- Whisk together flours, sugar, baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and the cinnamon in a large bowl. Whisk together yogurt, oil, eggs, and egg whites in a medium bowl. Fold yogurt mixture into flour mixture, then gently fold in carrots and currants until combined.
- Spoon batter into baking cups until each is three-quarters full. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of each comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Transfer pans to wire racks, and let cool for 10 minutes. Turn out muffins onto racks, and let cool completely.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter 6 cups of a jumbo muffin tin (each cup should have a 1-cup capacity). Heat currants and 1 cup water in a small saucepan over low heat until currants are plump, about 20 minutes. Drain; let currants cool.
- Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cardamom, and ginger in a medium bowl; set aside.
- Put eggs, oil, and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix on medium speed until combined. Reduce speed to low. Add the flour mixture in three batches, and mix until just combined after each addition. Fold in the carrots and currants.
- Pour batter into prepared muffin tin, leaving a 1/2-inch space above batter in each cup. Bake until tops are golden and a cake tester inserted into centers comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Let muffins cool in tin on a wire rack for 10 minutes.
- Remove tin from rack, and lightly oil rack. Run a thin knife around the sides of muffins to loosen, and unmold. Let cool completely on rack.
