I was somewhat disappointed with this recipe. I guess I should have realized that with no sugar....they wouldn't be sweet! I guess I thought the orange juice would do the trick, but these had really no sweetness to them at all. I personally thought they were okay and my 2-year old ate one, but my husband and my four year old were not impressed. Oh well! They were worth a try but next time I think I'll make "regular" blueberry muffins.

These were very good considering there is no sugar in them an not that much oil either. Light and fluffy. I found the allspice a little overpowering and would probably reduce the amount to 1/4tsp and up the cinnamon to 1/2tsp instead. I left out the orange zest because I didn't have a fresh orange for grating. Thanks for sharing and I will be making them again when I want a not so sinful treat! :)

Wow! I could NOT believe how tasty these muffins were! I couldn't believe that something with no refined sugar could taste that good! The orange in this recipe makes it! I am very happy now that I can eat blueberry muffins and not feel guilty. Next time I may even try the whole wheat flour instead of white! Thank you so much :)
