I CHANGED THIS RECIPE to make it LOW FAT & LOW SUGAR. I also used a MICROPLANE SHREDDER, by hand to make very finely grated carrots. They blend in the muffin much better. I did not have any apples so I used applesauce.
1/3 cup Truvia Baking blend (instead of sugar)
1/3 cup chopped pecans (instead of the sunflower seeds I did not have)
3/4 cup unsweetened applesauce (instead of the fat)
My recipe made 20 regular sized muffins. The only thing I forgot was to spray the inside of the muffin papers.
MY NUTRIENT VALUES:
CALORIES (for 1 regular size muffin): 141
Carbohydrates 21 grams
Total Fat 5 grams
Protein 3 grams
Cholesterol 22 grams (would be less if you used the liquid egg beater product)
Sodium 209 grams
Sugars 87 grams
Fiber 2 grams
I took them to church for the priesthood leaders meeting. There were none left :)
Wow! Thanks for the tips! I personally love a little bite of carrot, so I tend to use a courser grater, but more power to you! Thanks for letting us know how to alter our recipe! Kim@KAF
