"This was in my e-mail: "These snack cakes are packed with whole wheat flour and carrots; they are also lower in sugar and fat. Children can help out in the kitchen by mashing the carrots with a fork on a rimmed plate or small bowl. If desired, stir together a simple icing of 1 tablespoon orange juice, ½ teaspoon vanilla and 1 cup powdered sugar." I made this recipe twice this week, the grand-kids loved them so much and it's such an easy and quick recipe to whip up as is. I got 4 mini-muffin pans full out of this recipe."

<p><img src=http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j166/ZaarNicksMom/PACsticker-Adopted.jpg alt= /> <br /> <br />I'm a grandma who cares for 5 very young granddaughters everyday, so I really appreciate recipes that are easy and delicious, because on most days I don't have the energy and time to spend preparing evening meals. That's why I love RecipeZaar. I never fail finding recipes that suit the amount of time and energy that I have.</p>
