    very moist and DELICIOUS! I just made my first batch of them- I only used 1c grated carrots and substituted more pineapple for the other cup.

    Next I'm going to try leaving the juice with the pineapple to add more of that flavor, and also add silvered almonds.

    This is a keeper!

    We live in the Colorado mountains at 8,200 foot elevation, and baking is an immense challenge. Muffins are not as difficult as cakes for instance, but I made a couple small changes suggested by my high altitude cookbook. They were moist and flavorful. I'm going to make a full size recipe to keep some in the freezer!

    I didn't have wheat germ and used ground flaxseed instead; omitted the crushed pineapple but added raisins. Turned out great. Moist muffins - great for breakfast on the run.

    This is an easy and satisfying recipe! At first I got nervous because the batter seemed so dry and thick, but was relieved to see when I added the pineapple (which i pureed in a blender to avoid big chunks that it seemed just right. Best of all, you don't need an electric mixer!

    I'm only giving it 4 stars though, because I changed the recipe a bit to make it even more healthy and (I hope a little more flavorful. First, I switched the proportions of the whole wheat flour and the all purpose flour. I didn't have any wheat germ on hand so I just replaced it with more whole wheat flour. I reduced the sugar from 2/3 c. to 1/2 cup. By the way, I also had some muscovado sugar on hand so I used that instead of brown sugar for a slightly richer taste. I replaced half the oil with canned mango puree (though I'm pretty sure you could also use extra pineapple or applesauce. I also pretty liberally sprinkled in some ginger powder and nutmeg in addition to the cinnamon. Since I forgot to pick up extra cupcake liners, I made 1 batch as muffins and for a second batch I used a loaf pan (one of those silicone ones, which are great by the way and just reduced the temperature to 325.

    They came out great! I think replacing the oil with extra juice was good enough to compensate for the sugar I cut out (and if it wasn't, I made some white chocolate cream cheese frosting as a fail-safe - so people just iced their own depending on their sweetness preference/concern for calories. The extra spices really added a more complex flavor as well. I can taste the nuttiness of the wheat flour as well, and the flavor of the wheat and spices leaves a pleasant aftertaste.

    The muffin is quite heavy (perhaps because of the extra wheat flour, but I actually prefer it that way because a small muffin is quite filling. These are a great satisfying breakfast or snack for someone on the go!

    Wow, these were bad. I had been looking for a new carrot muffin and this was certainly not the right one. Threw them all away.

    They were easy to make. I used applesauce instead of pineapple. They were perfectly cooked in 23 minutes. They did not take 30 minutes in my oven. My six year old picky eater likes them. I will make then again.

    I wanted to make a healthy treat for my 20 month old little boy. He doesn't eat carrots very well, so I was hoping to find a good healthy carrot muffin. Sure enough, it was right there on food network. I didn't expect it to turn out very well, because I tried making a fruity cooky once and it was horrible. But to my surprise, they were moist, and absolutely delicious! MY husband even loved them. I ended up making a nother batch right away because they only made 10 large muffins. Try these muffins and you will not be dissappointed!!!!!
