"These muffins are yummy (and fat free). Don't be put off by the fact that they contain baby food! If you are following Weight Watchers, I've calculated 3 points per muffin."

  1. We enjoyed these muffins. They are not super sweet and make a great addition to any meal. We served them with a strawberry chicken salad. I love that they have no oil or butter in them.
     
  2. It was a nice muffin recipe and I liked the carrot puree baby food idea. I used carrot and potato baby food, as I had some at hand. Thanks for sharing
     
  3. I like these a lot, and the use of baby food is really creative. I've used baby food in recipes before because it's easy and the flavors are so mild so you can adjust it how you like.
     
  4. I made this in the form of a quick bread, took about an hour to cook, but worked fine. Used oat meal insead of oat bran, and cinnamon instead of allspice. I would probably add ginger next time and more cinnamon. Has a very nice texture, and will be good for breakfasts. The carrot purée is a nice change. Will certainly make again.
