Love these! They came out so moist I was really surprised. I did add some allspice and threw in about 3 tbls of chopped nuts that I had. Easy to prepare . Made for kittencalskitchen.com recipe tag game. :)

Loved them. Very tasty and decidedly on the healthier side. I think the whole wheat flour is wonderful. I used a very scant 1/4 cup of Splenda , skim milk and added a 1/4 tsp of nutmeg. 5 stars because they are not packed with fat and and are yummy. Thanks for a very enjoyable recipe Lauralie

These were simply delicious !! A wonderful moist flavor that was not sweet at all. I did use regular milk though. I had made 8 muffins and they were at least 3/4 full if not a bit more and they turned out to be a good size...not overly large but not mini either. My Daughter won't be getting any of these muffins in her goodie bag of food that she brings back to college. Will have to make another batch. Thanks for sharing Lauralie41 ...
