- Preheat oven to 350°F and line a muffin tin with liners.
- Zest orange and set to the side.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk eggs, maple syrup, coconut oil, milk, orange juice, and vanilla extract.

- Add homemade oat flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ground ginger, nutmeg, and salt to the large mixing bowl with wet ingredients.
- Use a spatula to fold in the grated carrots, orange zest, and walnuts, making sure not to overmix the batter, or the muffins will be tough
- Divide the batter evenly between the muffin cups and optionally top with a sprinkle of rolled oats.
- Bake for 20 - 24 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Notes

- NUT FREE: Leave out the walnuts to make this recipe nut-free.
- CARROT GRATING TIPS: Grate carrots by hand with a box grater or use the grating attachment on your food processor (easier).
- TO STORE: In an airtight container at room temperature for 4 days, refrigerator for 6 days, or freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator and warm in the microwave (if desired) before enjoying.
