When I first made these, I agreed with some other reviews that they were gummy and not really very pleasant. Made according to the recipe, I found that they were too wet, stuck to my muffin papers, not at all sweet and just a general disappointment. AND THEN I TRIED THEM THE NEXT DAY! Wow, so much better. The texture was much nicer, the applesauce worked it's magic and they were just the right amount of sweet. Next time I'm adding some nuts or perhaps a museli mix instead of straight oats.

I really liked the texture. I made a couple of changes - I used half oat bran and half oats. I used sweetened applesauce as that is all I had, and apple juice instead of water. I also tossed in a handful of sliced almonds for texture. I had a jumbo carrot that shredded out to about a cup, so that was all I used. It seemed to create a nice moist muffin but it is dense. I would add a little sugar if I was to make them over, but, they are pretty good as is. And as an added benefit, they are vegan!
