Healthy Morning Muffins

Ingredients:

• 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats, divided
• 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
• 1 cup packed dark brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg

• 2 large eggs
• 2/3 cup skim milk
• 3 cups shredded carrots (about 8 carrots)

Instructions:

1. 1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with 10 paper liners.
2. 2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, brown sugar, baking soda, baking powder, nutmeg, and salt until there are no lumps. Stir in 1 3/4 cups oats and raisins. Add oil, eggs, milk, carrots, and banana, and stir until blended, being careful to not overmix.
