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, 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 16 prepared muffin cups, filling each to the top.
