Wonderful tasty muffins Kit!! Made these with Applesauce - had big chunks of apple - perfect recipe for Fall!! Instead of raisins, added about 1/2 cup of mini-chocolate chips! Thanks Kit!

Sorry, these didn't work for me. I tried replacing the white flour with whole wheat pastry flour-made the muffin too doughy & dry. Thanks anyway!

Chocolate for breakfast... I think I'm in love! These are fantastic. They have just the right amount of sweetness without being too sweet, which gives them a great deep chocolatey flavor. I decided to use dried cherries in place of the raisins due to personal preference, and my family and I loved the chunks of apple and cherry. They worked perfectly with the chocolate and gave the muffins a wonderful texture. I also used soy milk in place of the cream and Egg Beaters. I can't wait to make these again.

holy cow. five stars....is not enough! I doubled it....used 1 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice for the spices, and used water instead of cream or milk. I tossed in a tablespoon of instant coffee granules and thought I'd died and gone to heaven. I can't wait to try it with dried cherries, and I'm sending the recipe to my sister right now!
