Topping

1 TB earth balance
1 TB brown sugar
1 TB flour
1 TB instant oats
1/2 TS ground cinnamon

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a muffin tin with paper liners, or spray with nonstick cooking spray, set aside. To make the 'buttermilk' combine almond milk and vinegar in small bowl and set aside to curdle, about 5-10 minutes. In large bowl mix together the flours, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. In another bowl whisk together sugar, oil, and maple syrup. Whisk the milk mixture into the sugar mixture. Pour that into the dry mixture and combine thoroughly. Gently fold in the carrots. To make the topping, toss all the ingredients into a small bowl, and using a fork mix to combined, put about a teaspoon amount on top of batter. Bake 25-30 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in middle comes out clean.
