How to Make Carrot And Walnut Muffins

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg.
Cut in 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 1 cup vegetable oil, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 2 cups grated carrots.
Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
Stir in 1 cup chopped walnuts.
Fill each muffin cup 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.
