Introduction

These muffins make it easy to eat your veggies. I grate the carrots really fine and the kids don't even notice they are there. These muffins make it easy to eat your veggies. I grate the carrots really fine and the kids don't even notice they are there.

    I made these muffins added about 1/4 cup of raisins, baked them at 350 for about 30 minutes, and they were incredible, delicious and moist. I will definitely make them again. - 10/2/07

    Because they won't "rise" a lot, make sure you bang your pan down to level out the muffin mix. I substituted brown sugar for the brown sugar Splenda mix to save some calories. They were very good! Thanks! - 11/9/08

    Great as a breakfast food. I added a couple tablespoons of flax seed just to make it just that more healthy!! - 1/26/08

    My muffins didn't rise well, and it was hard to get them cooked through. They are healthy, but not quite as sweet as I like my muffins to be. - 3/21/07

    I agree, cooking time was off on recipe. I thought they were okay, but probably wouldn't make them again. - 3/19/07
