Ingredients
Cooking Spray
2 Cups Whole Wheat Flour
1 Cup Rolled Oats
1 Teaspoons Baking Powder
1 ½ Teaspoons Baking Soda
2 Teaspoons Ground Cinnamon
1 Teaspoon Ground Ginger
½ Teaspoon Salt
¼ Teaspoon Ground Nutmeg
½ Cup Pure Maple Syrup
1 Cup Greek Yogurt
½ Cup Half n Half
½ Cup Unsweetened Applesauce

1 Cup Shredded Apple
½ Cup Finely Chopped Crystallized Ginger
½ Cup Raisins (Optional)
1 Cup Chopped Walnuts
Directions
Step 1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray 16 muffin cups with cooking spray or line with paper liners.
Step 2 Stir together flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ground ginger, salt, and nutmeg in a large bowl. Whisk together maple syrup, Greek yogurt, half-and-half, applesauce, eggs, and vanilla extract in a second bowl until thoroughly combined. Add maple syrup mixture to flour mixture and stir until just combined. Fold in carrots, apple, crystallized ginger, raisins, and walnuts.
Step 3 Divide batter evenly between 24 prepared muffin cups, filling each just below the top.
Step 4 Bake in the preheated oven until tops spring back when lightly pressed and a toothpick inserted into the center of one of the muffins comes out clean, 18 to 25 minutes. Cool in the tins for 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
