Made this for a bible study and they were hit! I’ve made this twice already and they freeze well too. I appreciate the amount of carrots and I found the recipe forgiving even if you don’t “measure” your carrots, I think I had a few less the second time I made it, but they turned out great! This was my first recipe from you! Thank you!

what a lovely recipe. like a lightly spiced fairy cake with carrots. beautiful light texture. just put a sprinkle of demerara sugar on top, placed in oven….which i had at 175°…didn’t notice that the instructions said start wirh a hotter temperature then turn it down. they cooked perfectly.
Recipe now witten down in my recipe book – it was worth double chopping my carrots for!

In reply to Rachel. Hi Rachel! You will need a substitute. Full fat greek yogurt works well. :)

In reply to Sam. Can I skip the sour cream for the recipe or is it a must have?

In reply to Sam. Great muffin and I am a muffin freak! I used jumbo pan for 6 muffins. Baked as original recipe but added time for total 25 mins. I used pumpkin spice 2 tsp. for other spices, just cause I had it. Had no corn starch and no problem. used 1/2 sour cream and 1/2 vanilla yogurt. So moist. second batch was with crumble. Husband said best muffin yet!.

In reply to Maura. We are so happy they were such a hit, Maura! We'd recommend adding no more than a cup of add-ins to this recipe

Loved these! YUMMY!! Thank you for the recipe. You are my go to person for good recipes as I love everything you make. Could you suggest how much raisins and nuts I could add as I’d like to try that too. Thank you Sam. 💕

Thanks! I made them, as mini muffins, and sprinkled turbinado sugar on top – a delicious hit with my coffee friends! These bite-sized versions will remain a big hit for me, and I might even add raisins, pecans and dollop them with a cream cheese frosting, next time.

In reply to Bets. I would personally prefer cream cheese. :)

If we were to glaze this, would you use an orange, lemon or cream cheese one?
Thanks! (Going to give these a ‘go’, today!)

Once again, delicious recipe from Sam Star Baker!

I had several substitutions and it all still worked great:
My substitutions were:
– half regular flour and half whole wheat flour
– 1/2 cup honey instead of granulated sugar (but still used the brown sugar)
– 1 cup cream cheese instead of sour cream
– I topped mine with a dollop of whipped cream cheese frosting and toasted pecans

This with a glass of milk…DELICIOUS!

In reply to Carolyn. Hi Carolyn! Honestly I have not tried it so I can't say for sure how it would go, but I think it could work. I'm not sure on a bake time. Let me know how it goes if you do try it. :)

Excellent muffins Samantha; thanks also for all the baking lessons. Question though…can I spread this in a loaf pan and make it as a coffee cake bread? What would the timing look like? Thanks again, Carolyn

I had extra carrots and figured I’d try these on a whim – and they were AMAZING! I’m adding carrots to my grocery list this week just to make more. They came out like light, fluffy cupcakes as opposed to heavy muffins, and my toddler also loved them (huge win, he can be a tough critic!)

In reply to Karly. Hi Karly! I haven't personally tried it, but I would probably do them on 375 for 11-13 minutes. :)
