ABSOLUTELY OUTSTANDING MUFFINS ~ SOOO SATISFYING! Was gonna share these with my son & DIL, but after the 2 of us consumed 5 of them for breakfast, we decided to finish them off ourselves before the end of the day! Will very happily make many, many more of these in the future! I, too, like subbing applesauce when I can & used some sauce I'd just made ~ Couldn't be better! Thanks for A WONDERFUL KEEPER OF A RECIPE! [Tagged, made & reviewed in the All New Zaar Cookbooks tag]

These would be delicious with just the almonds and banana - add the other stuff, and wow! I followed others and reduced the sugar (to 6 tablespoons) and subbed applesauce for half of the oil. I also halved the coconut to make it lighter and omitted the maraschino cherries (personal preference). These flavors are great together - very yummy!

These muffins were DELICIOUS!!! Used a bit less than 1/2 cup of sugar and used 1/4 cup of oil and 1/4 cup of applesauce. Had some white chocolate leftover, so used half white chocolate and half chocolate kisses. The muffins came out moist, tasty and SO GOOD!!! Merci Boomette!!

Super yummy! I used a little less sugar, apple sauce instead of oil, unsweetened coconut and milk chocolate chips. So much flavour! Will make this again soon!
