  This is the same as on http://www.kittencalskitchen.com - one of my absolute favourites!! Ice with 200g low-fat creams cheese, beaten with 1 tblsp icing sugar and 1 tsp vanilla. Lush!! - 8/22/09

  these were very good-however, I think next time I will use part whole wheat and part white flour, as the taste of the whole wheat was a bit overwhelming for me in a carrot muffin. I used the applesauce (no sugar) and would probably use half oil, half applesauce next time to get a moister muffin. - 11/12/14

  I used Egg Beaters, Splenda, and Applesauce but left everything else the same. It was delicious!!! Thank You. - 4/2/15

  I want to try these, but I think the photo is deceiving. It shows the muffin with frosting (in my opinion a requirement for carrot cake), but the nutritional breakdown (and recipe) apparently does not include any frosting. - 4/13/14

  I made this recipe with the suggested changes of 1 tbspn oil and 1/2 cup applesauce, got 15 muffins out of it, delish! Thanks for giving me an alternative to something I enjoyed, but dared not have since the real thing is laden with so much fat - 10/26/11

  Wow! I disguised these as cupcakes, and no one knew they were healthy. I used egg beaters, cinnamon applesauce, unsweetened vanilla almond milk, and less pineapple. Topped with cream cheese frosting recipe here, non fat cream cheese, SF cheesecake pudding, and water. Best 125 cal. ever! Yum!! - 4/25/11

  Just ate one fresh out of the oven...these are fantastic! Sometimes I find that using whole wheat flour leaves things tasting bitter...but these are sweet, moist, and very satisfying! I used 3 TBSP of canola oil but left the rest of the recipe the same. Thanks for the recipe. - 1/17/10

  I made this using all white flour and SPLENDA brown sugar and added chopped almonds. Made it into a loaf cake and it came out awesome. Everyone at my craft class loved it and I brought the recipe to share. - 4/6/15

  I used Splenda brown sugar and applesauce instead of the oil, which made it a little more moist. They were vey delicious! - 4/2/15

  Still an awful lot of sugar in those muffins and why not use almond or coconut milk for the liquid and coconut oil instead of canola? Sub some ground almonds (almond flour) and some coconut flour for the wheat, raw honey for the brown sugar or use coconut sugar. - 4/8/14

  When I went into recipe makeover I found many of the ingredients different than what was listed here. Makes for a misleading nutritional breakdown. - 2/6/12

  This is really yummy, even with whole wheat flour. But i did use half oil and half applesauce as suggested by a fellow Sparker and it worked. Definitely a keeper... - 4/3/20

  What a pleasant surprise! (I eat pineapples but don't usually add it to mixes). I used the applesauce instead of the oil and 2 percent milk. - 4/24/19

  This recipe make a fantastic base for a fruit cake. Instead of trad. fruit I use a mix of finely diced real fruit. Nothing candied.
  Also instead of hard booze use an extract of your fav. booze.

  O.K.
  
  Make sure you have fresh raisins, because older ones are like pellets since there is no fat to help them. Too much work for just muffins. And after one day, they become hard as rocks, so eat them fast. - 4/2/18

  I haven't tried this yet, but know by the looks of the recipe it will be good. Will use applesauce and will not squeeze out any of the juice from the carrots for added moisture. For all those asking about the frosting, look in the reviews. A couple people have given a couple recipes for it. - 4/2/17
