  3. Mix the wet ingredients in a separate bowl by whisking together the yogurt, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
  4. Combine the wet and dry ingredients by pouring the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently folding them together until just combined.
  5. Fold in the grated carrots and the chopped walnuts or pecans, if using.
  6. Fill each muffin cup about two-thirds full with batter.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Cool the muffins in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
