• 2 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups Carrots, grated
• 0.5 cups Walnuts, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well.

Step 2

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a larger mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vegetable oil. Beat the mixture until well combined.

Step 4

Add the eggs one at a time to the wet mixture, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Stir in the grated carrots, chopped walnuts, and milk. Gently mix until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 7

Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 22–25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Serve warm or at room temperature. These muffins can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
