I love the health aspect of this recipe. I used only the apricots in order to save on the sugar content however I do thing that they would benefit from the addition of 1/4 cup of Splenda. If the added fruit sugar from the raisins they will likely be just fine as written. These muffins are dense textured and heavy. Thats not unexpected with the whole wheat, oats and bran. I used fat free vanilla yogurt which added nicely to the flavor. Thanks Kate.
