I agree with some reviews that this recipe needs a little bit more sugar and spice. I reduced 1 cup of flour (i used whole wheat instead of all-purpose flour) and added more sugar, cinnamon, ground ginger... and also added some chocolate chips to this recipe!

I loved this recipe. I put the brown over the carrots and let it bring the juice out of the carrots. This made thr muffins super moist and I do this when I make a carrot cake as well. I have no complaints on this recipe. I followed it except for the carrot soak in brown sugar...everyone love them.

these were great...i made these to personal tastes by changing little things without changing the essential recipe and they were a hit even with my pickiest eater. wrap these up individually in plastic wrap and throw em into the freezer! microwave them until thawed or put in the fridge the night before for a quick breakfast on the run!

I cut this recipe in half. I agree with one of the other reviewers that this needs more of pretty much everything. I kept the bare bones of the recipe the same, only using whole wheat flour, upping the baking soda to a full teaspoon and adding a teaspoon of baking powder. I used one teaspoon of SD's pumpkin pie spice and organic honey instead of molasses (I just happened to be out at the moment). I did use lowfat buttermilk, an organic egg and organic carrots and raisins. I started out with the original amount of carrots, raisins and nuts and ended up increasing the chopped carrot to 3/4 of a cup and the raisins and pecans to a half cup FOR A HALF RECIPE. I also added a teaspoon of vanilla. We don't like walnuts in this house so I used pecans. Right before baking, I sprinkled the muffins with a slight amount of sugar. These turned out almost like carrot cake. I think as a base recipe this is really great but it really does need the extra added stuff. I think had I not increased the additions, it would not have turned out as good. NOTE: For a half recipe, I got 12 medium sized muffins, not 18. 350* for 15 minutes was perfect baking time.

This is a great recipe and a great muffin full of flavor. It's not intended to please those people who are looking for candy but rather those looking for something a bit more healthy. It is too bad those people gave it few stars because this muffin is moist and terrific. You don't have to feel bad (for those that do) when you eat it.
