After making the changes as previously suggested (applesauce for oil etc..), these were very good muffins. I've already made them again. The kids love them.

These were very good with the suggestions by all the reviewers that included: sub 1/2 cup applesauce for oil, and use half whole wheat flour and other half white flour. All of my kids enjoyed this and I would have given the recipe 5 stars if it had been written with the above changes. A keeper of a recipe! You gotta love the reviewers who improve good recipes like this one!

These were pretty good. I made a few changes - some good and some bad. Used 50/50 flour, applesauce and no oil and added vanilla and walnuts and left out the raisins. Pretty dense but I blame the wheat flour. I will make these again with maybe a little white flour.

I just made these with the following changes: white whole wheat flour, 1 cup applesauce instead of oil, 1 tsp, cinnamon, 1/2 tsp each of allspice and nutmeg, only 2 eggs, frosted with cream cheese frosting. SO GOOD, MOIST, perfect.

I wish I had read all the reviews first, I just went by the star rating. I agree with many others, too bland and way too much oil.

Tasty and easy. I used golden raisins and cut back the baking powder to 2 tsps instead of a tbsp.

Good starting recipe. Some changes are a must though. Sounds like reducing the oil and adding apple-sauce works well. For my muffins, I reduced the oil to 3/4cup and added a little milk to replace the liquid. I reduced the amount of eggs to 2, instead of 4. I also added only 1 tsp of baking soda, 1/2 tsp salt, and 3 tsp baking powder. Don't forget to add vanilla extract (approx. 1-2tsp), this will add flavor and make your muffins appear to be sweeter than they actually are. If you are a sweet tooth, definately add more sugar or more raisins.

As others, I replaced some of the ingredients as follows: 1 cup oil became 1/3 cup oil and 2/3 cup apple sauce. 3 cups flour became 1 1/2 cups flour and 1/2 cup ground flaxseed. Everything else I followed and they came out great. Made 14 perfect muffins. I did not frost the top. They taste earthy with enough sweet taste that non health fanatics will enjoy them as well.

These are amazing. Better than store bought, hands down! I hate cooked raisins so I left those out and I didn't frost them, but I didn't change anything else. They were super easy, and the texture is amazing.

Good muffin. I too reduced the oil to 1/4 cup and substituted 3/4 cup of applesauce. I also used 4 jars of beechnut stage 2 carrot baby-food instead of the shredded carrots and I omitted the raisins!

My 5 yr old loves these. She had one for breakfast this morning. I used 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce and 1/2 cup oil and also used 1/2 cup whole wheat flour. I froze half of the batch for later consumption.

These sounded good..they looked good in the pan..they smelled geat. Only problem is that they have no taste. Very, very bland and disappointing. Gave 2 stars for the fact that my kids will eat them but even they (who are not picky) are not thrilled about them.

These muffins are great! The only reason I rated it four stars was because I substituted apple sauce for the oil, but the texture came out wonderful; it was very moist and light, and quite delicious!

I made two batches of these muffins. The first, I put in the raisins and added a small shake of nutmeg. The second, I didn't have any raisins, so I instead put in one cup of oats, along with the nutmeg. Both were very good, and easy to make. I didn't have any cream cheese to try the frosting. Instead, while they were still warm, I sliced them in half and spread on butter or jam. Very good!

This is an awesome recipe! I added walnuts a little under a cup. I also used 3/4 vegetable oil and 1/4 apple sauce. I used the pulp from my juicer which also had orange pulp. It truly adds a perk. Fantastically YUMMY!!

My daughter and me made these yesterday and they are amazing. Very moist and full of flavor. We did change the amount of oil, by replacing 3/4 cups of apple sauce 1/4 cup oil and they turned out really well, while taking out a lot of that oil that was requested. I also put in 2 table spoons of ground flax seeds for more nutrition. I will be making these again and again

This is a very good recipe for carrot muffins. The only change I made was I substituted chopped walnuts for the raisins because I do not much care for raisins.

Good base recipe. I omitted the raisins, added shredded apple, 1/2 cup of oatbran and substituted whole wheat flour for half the AP flour. I also followed the advice of other reviews and reduced the baking powder to 2 teaspoons and baking soda to 1 teaspoon. I also made a low carb version with splenda instead of brown sugar and added chopped walnuts. Both recipes were well received.
