For best results, use freshly grated carrots and finely chopped apples. This ensures the muffins are moist and flavorful. If you don't have buttermilk, you can substitute it by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar to regular milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes before using. Feel free to experiment with other nuts or seeds, such as pecans, almonds, or sunflower seeds, in place of the walnuts. Store the muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
