I made this recipe into muffins today and they are GREAT!! I am trying to eat low Cal and these are great for that. I used whole wheat flour, applesauce instead of oil, Splenda (a little more than 1/3 cup), and added some nutmeg and vanilla. They came out nice and moist. My Kids loved them too! They figured out to be about 85 Calories per muffin!! Great for breakfast or a snack!! Thanks for the great Recipe!!

very good! substituted oil for strong, brewed coffee, used whole wheat flour, and reduced sugar to 1/3 cup - turned out great! added a chocolate-coffee glaze on top for a little extra sweetness!

This was a really good recipe! I used whole wheat pastry flour, applesauce instead of the oil, 1/2 cup packed brown sugar and added a 1/2 cup blueberries. The recipe makes exactly 12 perfectly-sized muffins.

I made this as muffins, to keep my oven on for less time in the summer! It took fifteen minutes. I also added less than a cup of chocolate chips. These are really great, and taste great with nut butter on them. Thanks Barb!
