Delicious and mega-healthy. My 3 year old is gobbling them up and told me the "chocolate cupcakes" are yummy. I put 3 T maple syrup in place of honey and rehydrated the raisins so I could blend them with the carrot and apple since my 3 year old wouldn't have liked texture in her cupcake. These pretty much stay the exact same shape as what they are when you put them in the oven so be aware of that. If that matters, maybe use a cookie scoop. These will be a regular for us now.
