I got some carrots from my farmer's market, and I have had this recipe saved for a long time, and I couldn't wait to make them. I am not sure how Pamela's muffins and my muffins came out so differently. My batter was the texture of ground beef, and the muffins cooked up (appearance-wise) like little mini meatloaves! I omitted the nuts and substituted 1 cup of the Splenda for brown sugar - which should've given them more moisture. The taste is very good, though, and they freeze really well. I made them for my husband to take to work for a snack. For me, the taste of nutmeg is pretty strong, I might decrease it a bit next time I make these. Maybe I'll try adding 6 oz. of applesauce or yogurt to these, as well. I'm glad I tried it. Thanks!

I amde this recipe for Pick a Chef fall 2006. These were great muffins and perfect for school lunches. I did not have a jumbo muffin tin so I just made them in a regular muffin tin. I left out the nuts because the kid's school is nut free. Thanks for posting :)
