These are really good, but you need to realize that they are carrot MUFFINS, not carrot cupcakes. They aren't supposed to taste like carrot cake!! I cut the recipe in half and used applesauce and some oil instead of the melted butter. I also added some pumpkin pie spice. Delicious!!

Excellent recipe! I like that it makes 24. I did add a little more sugar 2/3 cup and reduced molasses to 1/4 because of others comments but I think 1/2 c molasses is fine. I couldn't taste the molasses at 1/4. Also, I might add a little more spice next time. I baked 20 min., just right. They were moist. Nuts on top was nice as well. I might sprinkle cinnamon/sugar on top next time. (I thought 2 Tbsp baking powder might be too much and used 1 Tbsp and a little less salt, was perfect.)I will make these again and again.

This was an instant favourite for me! They are filling and tasty! My only complaint is that they are slightly dry. A few seconds in the microwave and a small smear of vegan butter cures that!

I think that these muffins are okay. I doubled (and a half :-)) the brown sugar, and I added a tablespoon of vanilla extract, and tbsp of ginger, cloves, and nutmeg (in addition to the cinnamon). I also used soymilk instead of regular milk. I think if I make these again, I will add more vanilla, and spices. And I would try the whole applesauce thing I seen in another review. This recipe does give a good basic to go by so that you can add your own pizzazz(i hope that i spelled that correctly) to it.

After reading the description, I thought it sounded wonderful. After baking the muffins and trying them, I , along with my husband and daughter were very disappointed. While they were very moist, the molasses overpowers them, and there are not sweet enough to be tasty. I would never use this recipe again, and I will have to throw most of them away.

What a great way to get some carrots into my 6 year old! I followed the suggestions to cut molasses, double the spices. I also realized I was out of butter so I used 6 Tablespoons of veg. oil instead. Will make again.

Great muffins - I got some delicious crust with moist and chewy inside. Next time I will decrease the amount of sugar, though (may be the carrots I used this time were too sweet, though). Thanks!

I made a half batch which turned out 24 mini-muffins and 5 regular muffins. These were OK, but not a recipe I'll make again. I doubled the sugar but they were still just so-so. Thanks anyway.

Bland and boring. These are definately not sweet enough. I'm glad they're healthy, but the taste isn't worth it.

I'm sorry but these muffins were not as good as they sounded. All I could taste was baking soda! I can only hope that I did something wrong in the preparation because they were so wierd. I am a big fan of healthy food, so I know it wasn't the lower sugar that bothered me. These tasted very wrong. I threw them out into the woods for the squirrels to eat. I hope they like them.

I really liked these muffins alot!!! I made a few changes. I used half the ammount of molases and substituted honey for the other half. I also doubled the brown sugar. Oh and I love the spices so I doubled the ammount of cinnamon and allspice. I've made this recipe twice and my husband who hates muffins even likes them :) That's high praise coming from him.

I was looking for a way to get carrots into my toddler's diet and she (and daddy) really liked these. However, they weren't as big a hit with me and my older son. The molasses is a little overpowering for my taste (and I like molasses!) so I'll probably use less next time. I also substituted cardamom for the allspice and topped 'em with a basic cream cheese frosting.

THis recipe was rather bland and tasteless. I was excited about trying a healthy muffin for lunches, but they were so gross no one ate them. More spice and flavouring definitely needed.
