1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups wheat bran
1/4 cup wheat germ
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1/4 cup molasses
1/4 cup vegetable oil

1 1/4 cups grated carrots
1/2 cup chopped and toasted walnuts (optional)

Preparation

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease 36 muffin cups, or use paper liners.
In a large bowl, combine flour, bran, wheat germ, brown sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Make a well in the center. In a small bowl, mix together eggs, molasses, vegetable oil, milk, and grated carrots. Pour into well, and mix just until moistened. Stir in walnuts and raisins. Fill muffin cups 3/4 full.
Bake in preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until tops spring back when lightly tapped.
