These cookies are moist and flavorful, with a tender crumb and a sweet, cinnamony taste. They're also relatively healthy, as they're made with whole wheat flour, oats, and applesauce instead of butter or oil.

Tips:
- For a moister muffin cookie, use freshly grated carrots. Avoid pre-packaged shredded carrots, as they tend to be drier.
- To add a nutty flavor, toast the pecans in a skillet over medium heat for a few minutes before adding them to the batter.
- If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in tough muffin cookies.
- Bake the muffin cookies until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
