  1. Mix flour, oat bran, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and shredded carrots.
  2. Melt the butter and combine with milk and vanilla. Beat eggs, then add them to milk mixture.
  3. Mix wet and dry ingredients until just combined, then fold in dates and nuts.
  4. Spoon into muffin cups filling mostly to the top since they don’t rise a lot.
