Making muffins today. Didn't have whey powder and substituted non-fat dry milk and didn't have cottage cheese and substituted plain low fat yogurt (researched subs and these were suggestions). Will rate after tasting :)
Well it was okay, but kind of dense. and maybe my substitutes didn't help. - 9/15/12

These are great! I didn't add the carrots, but next time I will. I also added the whole 8 oz can of crushed pineapple with juice since a few reviews said they were dry. Mine were a little too moist. I also added a few dried cranberries to each muffin and used cupcake paper liners in my pan. - 3/26/12

I made this, and half way through, I realized there was no flour. GREAT! Less calories.
Also, I subbed in ricotta cheese for the cottage cheese, added 1/2 cup walnuts, and the protein powder I used (Weider 90% protein) bumped up the protein to a whopping 14 grams. A little dry. I'll make again! - 11/16/08
