[I love spicy food]

Wow! so moist and delicous. they don't even taste like "healthy" muffins. i loved that there was almost no sugar in them. can not wait to make again and will double the recipe and freeze a bunch.

Very healthy muffins. but the kids don't like it because they prefer sweeter food. i added up the amount of sugar to 1 cup and it is a bit sweeter than before. the amount of the sugar also depends how sweet the canned peaches are. Friends like it and will make again.

Usually 'healthy' muffins taste like sawdust....These have great flavour and are moist.Sub 1/2 whole wheat flour and cut back on oil. Already gave recipe to neighbour! Thanks...
