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 can't Review this yet but it's something I'll be trying tomorrow. It sounds tasty! On a side note: Unless you follow the recipe exactly as the OP states I see no reason to give bad reviews! I find it unnecessary and unhelpful. It doesn't make sense to Review a recipe if you don't follow instructions! Rant over...happy cooking

    Unfortunately, I only give this recipe 2 stars and that's with making a lot of changes. I used apple sauce and olive oil in place of the shortning, added cinnamon and nutmeg and used freesh carrots that I cooked in the microwave. These did rise but they were just okay.

    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.
