Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a muffin tin by lining it with paper liners or greasing it lightly with oil.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated carrots, unsweetened applesauce, eggs, oil, vanilla extract, and light brown sugar. Mix until smooth and creamy.
  3. Sprinkle in the baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Mix thoroughly until evenly distributed.
  4. Gently fold in the whole wheat flour and rolled oats until no dry flour remains.
  5. Fold in the chopped walnuts if using.
  6. Divide the muffin batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
  7. Bake for 20 to 22 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  8. Let the muffins cool in the pan for about 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
