Carrot cake lovers rejoice with these super moist and delicious carrot cake muffins. I used apple sauce to replace a majority of the fat in the recipe. This lower-fat version tastes anything but low-fat! It tastes like a yummy mini carrot cake! You can also top these muffins with your favorite cream cheese frosting recipe for a slightly more indulgent option. Both are delicious and highly recommended by my friends and family!
