Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare the muffin tin by lining it with paper liners or greasing each cup.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Stir until well mixed.
  3. Fold in grated carrots, applesauce (or yogurt), vegetable oil (or melted coconut oil), and vanilla extract, combining gently until just incorporated.
  4. If desired, fold in walnuts or raisins to enhance flavor and texture.
  5. Evenly distribute the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  7. Let the muffins cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
