How to Make Apple Carrot Nut Muffins

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
In a separate bowl, combine the oil, sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix well.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
Gently fold in the grated carrots, chopped apples, and chopped nuts.
Fill the muffin cups about ¾ full.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
