    These were delicious! I thought they were easy to make--I bought shredded carrots from the store and threw them in the blender with the oil and the milk (to get the grated effect). I'm going to freeze them so I can have them during the week. Adding this to my recipe book NOW! Thanks for the recipe - 7/7/09

    It was very yummy, the whole house loved them. They also freeze well to make them last longer. - 2/9/08

    I used ground up fiber one cereal + oatmeal instead of flour, and sugarfree applesauce instead of oil. Turned out great! Thanks for sharing - 3/15/11

    Excellent recipe. I didn't have pineapple, so I used 1 shredded apple instead. Turned out great and the rest of my family devoured them. - 6/26/10
