Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease each cup lightly. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Stir well to ensure everything is evenly distributed. In a separate bowl, whisk together the cooking oil, eggs, and milk until well combined. Gently fold in the grated carrots and crushed pineapple (with its juice) into the wet ingredients. Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4ths full. Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. Let the muffins cool in the tin for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
