These muffins are INCREDIBLE. What a great way to get fruits AND veggies. My seven year old is in love--and the dog ran off with a pan full, too!

I have to say I was disappointed in these muffins. I read the reviews before baking which is what made me want to try them. These muffins were dry, they did have a banana taste and with shaved carrots you could taste them. But over all, they did rise and looked yummy...but I like a moist muffin, and these were far from moist. Sorry. Thanks for sharing your recipe though. Cheers

    These are so good! My kids just gobbled them up. Next time I will be really careful to mash the carrots really, really well. Every now and then I take a bite, and it's all canned carrot tasting. Not delicious. But other than my own carelessness, there is not one single thing wrong with this recipe. I made as written except subbed margarine. Next time I will do half margarine and half applesauce. I think I will also try with half whole wheat flour next time as well. Thanks for a really great recipe I will make again and again!

    I found myself without shortening, so I used an equal amount of butter, and they were delightful. Unlike many, these muffins don't stick to the paper liners, which I consider to be a fine quality in a muffin. I halved the recipe and got 16 muffins, considered surprising my coworkers with breakfast tomorrow and decided to put them in the freezer instead. All mine!

    These are GREAT!!!! I did use splenda,egg beaters,and fat-free margerine. This morning when I made carrot juice, I used the carrot pulp for my carrots. Thanks so much for posting. I will sure be making these often.
