In a large bowl, sift together first seven ingredients (flour through salt). Set aside. In a medium bowl, whisk milk, syrup, oil, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla until sugar dissolves. Add dry ingredients and mix just until blended. Gently stir in carrots, raisins, and walnuts, if using. Divide among prepared muffin cups.
