Preheat the oven to 375℉/190℃. Line your muffin tin with 14 muffin liners and set aside.
In a medium-sized bowl, add in flour, oats, salt, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, baking powder, and baking soda. Using a spatula, mix until just completely combined.
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup rolled oats, 1 tbsp cornstarch, 1 tsp baking soda, 1 1/2 tsps baking powder, 1 1/2 tsps cinnamon, 1/8 tsp nutmeg, 1/8 tsp cloves, 1/8 tsp ginger
Using the fine side of your grater, grate the carrots.
1 1/4 cups carrots
In a large bowl add shredded carrots, unsweetened applesauce, eggs, vanilla, brown sugar, oil. Whisk until combined.
2/3 cups oil, 3/4 cups unsweetened applesauce, 2 eggs, 1 cup dark brown sugar, 1 tbsp vanilla, 1 1/4 cups carrots
Add the dry into the wet and using a spatula, gently mix until just combined. Don't over-mix!
Scoop the muffins evenly between 14 regular liners. This recipe makes 13-15 muffins depending on how full you fill each liner. Sprinkle a bit of white sugar on top of each muffin (optional, but recommended).
Bake the muffins for 20-25 minutes in regular liners or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
