Carrot Muffins image

I've tried many variations of carrot muffins, and these are by far the best! They aren't too sweet, they have the perfect amount of carrots in them, they stay moist, and they're good for you!!!

These were a bit too sweet for my taste, even though I used less sugar than the recipe called for.

I love the combination of carrots and cream cheese in these muffins. They're always a hit at my parties.

These muffins are a great way to use up leftover carrots. They're moist and flavorful and the cream cheese frosting is a nice bonus.

I found the muffins to be a bit dry. Maybe I should have added some more grated carrots or played with other ingredients.

Just made these muffins and they are delicious! I used a whole wheat flour blend and they still turned out great.

I'm not a big fan of muffins, but these carrot muffins are really good! The carrots give them a nice texture and the spices are perfect.

Followed the recipe exactly, and the muffins didn't rise very much. Not sure what went wrong.

I added some chopped walnuts for extra crunch. The recipe is simple and the muffins are moist and fluffy. Thanks for sharing!

Great recipe! The kids refused to eat carrots at first, but they had no idea these delicious muffins contained them.
