Instructions: Preheat oven to 350 degrees; coat muffin cups with nonstick cooking spray.

Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and nutmeg; stir to mix well. Add the syrup or honey, skim milk, egg whites and carrots; stir just until the dry ingredients are moistened. Fold in the raisins or pecans. Fill the muffin cups 3/4 full with the batter.

Bake for 15 to 17 minutes, or just until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove the muffin tin from the oven and allow it to sit for 5 minutes before removing the muffins. Serve warm or at room temperature.
