I thought these were very good - and when I brought them to work to share, my co-workers LOVED them (= The common comment was that they were not too sweet. I used white whole wheat, and coconut milk [beverage], and Sugar in the Raw, also sprinkling a little of the sugar over the tops before baking. I do think that they would be good with chopped pecans or some golden raisins added, too. I got 15 regular sized muffins out of this recipe . . .
My 5 year old requested carrot muffins so I made these. I followed the directions to the letter and smelled/tasted the batter before baking. It didn't have quite the same spice profile I am used with carrot cake so I added 1/2 tsp of allspice to the wet batter. Otherwise I didn't change a thing.
They turned out great, will make again.
An excellent recipe, easy and tasty. I doubled the carrot, and added raisins and nutmeg, and it actually made 22 muffins, not 12
I did change it a bit. Used 1/2 c oil instead of butter just like most other muffin recipes. I added 1c raisins and 1c walnuts. Was a big hit!!
Will definitely make this again since it was a hit with my family. Didn't add any applesauce and cinnamon but I did add raisins and it came out moist and not too sweet with a lovely taste from the raisins.
With a few tweaks these muffins are delious. I replaced the butter with 1/2 cup oil. I also added raisins and walnuts and allspice and nutmeg. Yummy
These were ok but more like just a plain carrot muffin. Not really like a carrot cake. Needs raisins and walnuts. I'll try a different recipe next time.
Just made them. Smelled heavenly so I decided to sample fresh out of the oven.... Super disappointed the muffins are very bland. Time to try a different recipe.
I just made these this morning and they were awesome! I did some substituting though mostly out of necessity. I was almost out of all purpose flour so I used some whole wheat pastry flour that's been sitting here since Valentines' day and since the only milk we had was skim I used half a cup of that and half a cup of whipping cream. They turned out fantastic!
