Preheat the oven to 375 degrees and line 2 muffin pans with cupcake liners.

nutmeg and salt. In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs at medium speed until
blended. Gradually beat in the granulated sugar and the dark brown sugar.
Add the vanilla, vegetable oil and orange juice and mix until combined and
smooth. On low speed mix in one-third of the flour mixture. Scrape down the
sides as necessary. Continue to add the flour mixture in thirds until just
smooth. Fold in the grated carrots, walnuts and chocolate morsels. Fill the
