i followed the recipe exactly but did not make the frosting. due to the amount of baking soda (or, pehaps due to the baking soda i used being a few years old :S) there was this awful metal taste to the otherwise good muffins. also, the muffins had a strange red tinge to them; again, probably due to the baking soda. but, aside from that, the texture was good as it was light, fluffy, and moist.

These were excellent, even without the frosting! My kids went crazy eating them!

The icing was to sweet other them that it was good!

These muffins were delicious! The only alterations that I made were to use 1/2 all purpose flour and 1/2 whole wheat flour and I didn't frost them. Thanks for sharing!

Fantastic recipe! Don't know why my muffin bottoms came out a little wet though. Maybe it's my oven, or my muffin tin. I will try this again! I used half the oil, and substituted the rest for applesauce. A good first muffin-baking attempt for me, I reckon. : )

I followed the directions exactly and they ended up super oily and the taste was overwhelmed by the taste of vegetable oil. Maybe I'll try again later using applesauce instead of so much oil, like other people suggested.

These came out GREAT. Easy to make and taste great! The firt batch i made with applesauce instead of oil (since i didnt have enough oil) and they were delish! They also taste great without the icing. I made them with the icing the 2nd time around and it wasnt as "cream cheesy" as i was expecting, next time i might up the cream cheese measurement!!

I haven't tried the original, but like others, changed some things to make a little more healthy -- and the group I served them to tonight LOVED them. Thanks for posting the original recipe -- it was a great starting point!!!! I used half all-purpose flour and half high-altitude whole wheat flour (I tried all whole wheat earlier and they were too dense) added a little more cinnamon, plus 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg Used a little less sugar I replaced the oil with nearly a cup of applesauce I added about 1/4 cup of golden raisins I used muffin liners and sprayed them with non-stick spray. I had to cook the muffins about 25 minutes (I don't know if it's because of the altitude 6,000+ or because of applesauce). I used one batch of frosting to do nearly two dozen muffins (don't like it too sweet).

YUMMY but crumbly. Baked mini muffins for 15 minutes and they came out great.

This was easy and Scrumptious!

Really nice muffin. Simple and tasty. I replaced all the oil with applesauce. I also substituted some whole wheat flour for the white flour. These are great even without frosting.

Since I had a lot of carrots left over from Easter, I needed a quick recipe. This worked very well but instead of muffins I used it as a cake. It turned out lovely and moist. The cinnamon was a great complement for the carrot and seemed more spice cake than carrot which was perfect for me. The frosting is more of an icing which is fine with me. Maybe it needs more cream cheese. Next time I will try to make them as muffins and see what happens.

Yummy! Made them with whole wheat flour and had them without the icing to save calories! Definitely a keeper.

Cup cakes turned out perfect! added ginger spice and a little bit more carrot. cream cheese came out really badly.Kitty<3

These turned out amazing! I used whole wheat flour for that "healthier" feeling. (good thing since I ate 6 myself) They are great without the icing too.

iT'S GOOD BUT i FEEL THAT THEY COME OUT A BIT OILY! MAYBE i DID SOMETHING WRONG

YUM! i followed the recipe exactly, & i really luved how these turned out! my dad said that they were "dang good", & my mom said she "really liked them". (i made 'em 'cause i had to stop my mom from buying a pack of four from the store, & was buying carrots anyway(she really likes stuff w/ carrots in 'em).(i like to bake alot) ya sure, the pack of four at the store has 4 bigger ones, but this recipe made 12 smaller ones-amount totally makes up for size. i even was able to use my dessert decorator to use to put the icing on them-quite a bit of fun using that thing. i was kinda worried that the icing would be too thick, but luckily it came out fairly nice(out of the decorator). i will SOOO make these again!!!! DELICIOUS!

These did not turn out for me. The one thing i changed was putting 2 eggs instead of one. The insides of the muffins caved in and the outside was very crunchy and tasted gross, even after putting the cream cheese icing on top. I wouldn't make these again.
