Wow! These are fantastic muffins! Albeit, they are a labor of love with all the chopping and shredding. The hospital I work at serves them in the Cafe on occasion and I really wanted the recipe. This one looked pretty close. I did make a few modifications, I used cinnamon applesauce that was sweetened so I cut the sugar down to 1 cup. I also added chopped dates to the mix, cause I love them! This yielded 30 nice size muffins. I plan on freezing most and taking one out every morning for breakfast! Thanks so much for sharing Carrie Ann! I will be making these again!

These were awesome! I made them as mini-muffins for a crew of 6 college students (mainly guys) who my husband and I were taking to a Habitat for Humanity build. (this makes enough for 48+ when filling mini cups at least 3/4 full and had batter left over for 3 regular sized muffins). I wanted something yummy, but somewhat hearty since we were going to be working hard building houses until a late lunch. I also made some bannana muffins with a strusel topping. The whole 'crew' raved about what they're calling "The Everything Muffins"! Even my husband who is stingey with giving out 5-star ratings gave these a "5". I increased the applesauce to a full cup and decreased the oil to a scant 1/2 cup, but followed everything else to the letter. I might try using 1 1/4 cup applesauce and no oil and using at least a cup of whole wheat flour next time just to make it even healthier. Thanks for posting this, Carrie Ann- we build with Habitat every other weekend and I'll be bringing these again for sure.
