i used 1/2 c applesauce and 1/2 c ground flax in place of the butter and they turned out wonderfully! really tasty muffins will definitely make again.
I really liked these muffins alot!!! I made a few changes. I used half the ammount of molases and substituted honey for the other half. I also doubled the brown sugar. Oh and I love the spices so I doubled the ammount of cinnamon and allspice. I've made this recipe twice and my husband who hates muffins even likes them:) That's high praise coming from him.
THis recipe was rather bland and tasteless. I was excited about trying a healthy muffin for lunches but they were so gross no one ate them. More spice and flavouring definitely needed.
I was looking for a way to get carrots into my toddler's diet and she (and daddy) really liked these. However they weren't as big a hit with me and my older son. The molasses is a little overpowering for my taste (and I like molasses!) so I'll probably use less next time. I also substituted cardamom for the allspice and topped 'em with a basic cream cheese frosting.
I made almost 3 dozen mini muffins with this recipie. They are fantastic. Not to sweet and moist with great ingrediants to make them nice and healthy.For mini muffins they took 10 minutes.
I'm sorry but these muffins were not as good as they sounded. All I could taste was baking soda! I can only hope that I did something wrong in the preparation because they were so wierd. I am a big fan of healthy food, so I know it wasn't the lower sugar that bothered me. These tasted very wrong. I threw them out into the woods for the squirrels to eat. I hope they like them.
Rave reviews from the kids. "Better than the ones from IGA!"
Great muffins - I got some delicious crust with moist and chewy inside. Next time I will decrease the amount of sugar though (may be the carrots I used this time were too sweet though). Thanks!
Excellent recipe! I like that it makes 24. I did add a little more sugar 2/3 cup and reduced molasses to 1/4 because of others comments but I think 1/2 c molasses is fine. I couldn't taste the molasses at 1/4. Also I might add a little more spice next time. I baked 20 min. just right. They were moist. Nuts on top was nice as well. I might sprinkle cinnamon/sugar on top next time. (I thought 2 Tbsp baking powder might be too much and used 1 Tbsp and a little less salt was perfect.)I will make these again and again.
