Wasn't really wild about these. I was excited to try them because they looked more healthy than the type of muffins I usually bake. As I result, I had to stock my cupboard with Splenda brown sugar blend and wheat germ (2 things I have never cooked with before). They stuck to the muffin papers like crazy (should have sprayed them first) and they were rather bland. I would have liked more apple/pumpkin flavor to compensate for the other "low fat" effects of the recipe.
