These are delicious!! I did make a few changes: I just added the cinnamon into the muffins instead of putting it on top (and I think I will experiment with more spices next time!), I added small chunks of Granny Smith apples instead of nuts or raisins, and I only had to cook them for about 15 minutes in my oven. I will absolutely be making these again and again! Delish!

These are DELICIOUS! They're moist and the perfect amount of sweetness: I also really liked the cinnamon and sugar mixture- it provides a nice "finish". I halved the recipe and used one whole egg instead of two egg whites. It was quick and painless to complete. I will definitely be making these again- thanks so much!!

I halved the recipe to make 6 yummy muffins! I followed the recipe exactly and added in 1/4 c. of raisins. Next time I'd like to put nuts in it too. The cinnamon & sugar topping adds a nice touch of sweetness for me and we ate them warm. Great recipe!
