A nice little recipe for your sweet tooth. A wonderful carrot cake recipe with no sugar added-you won't be able to tell the difference. The dates help cut out processed sugar and add potassium. The carrots add some beta-carotene.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray 10 cups of a 12-cup muffin pan with nonstick spray.
- Combine dates and water in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes. Transfer to a blender or food processor. Cover and pulse a few times, then process until pureed.
- Mix flour, wheat germ, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a large bowl.
- Beat eggs lightly in a medium bowl. Stir in pureed dates, shredded carrots, canola oil, and vanilla; mix until well blended. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients; mix by hand or blend with a mixer on low speed until all ingredients are combined. Pour batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each one halfway.
- Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the centers comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely, about 25 more minutes.
