Very nice and moist. I doubled the recipe, used 1 cup sour cream and 2 cups of milk. I also added 1 cup of chopped dates. Thanks for a great recipe! -
I love these muffins so light and moist -
These are DELICIOUS! I can't have dairy so I did Coconut Milk vanilla yogurt instead and I didn't have oatmeal so I substituted old fashioned oats, but these turned out fantastic. They were moist and sweet without being overly sweet or dessert-like. These will become a staple in my house! -
I love this recipe. I also made it again with the following switches. I left out the nutmeg, used vanilla yogurt, 1 cup of banana instead of carrot, 3/4 cup of brown sugar instead of a cup. -
We liked these a lot :) I wouldn't have thought to combine carrots and oatmeal, but these muffins have good flavor and texture. I can't ask for a better afterschool snack.

These are so good, and can easily be tweaked to fit your tastes. I'm at high elevation at 7400 ft. Cut the baking powder by about a quarter tablespoon. Also I added 1/3 cup each of shredded coconut and raisins. This is harty and delicious! -

Sorry, these were just okay for us. Made as directed except subbed applesauce for oil which I usually do. I grated mini carrots...don't know if that would've made a difference. They weren't bad, but won't make again.
