  1. I gave this recipe 5 stars because of how healthy it is. If it wasn't a healthy recipe, I would be inclined to give it only 4 because it isn't as moist and sweet as the super unhealthy muffins, but because they're healthy, they get 5! :)<br/>I'm very surprised at how well these turned out for how healthy they are! Excellent recipe. I also added nutmeg like many reviewers have mentioned. I don't like raisins, so I left those out, but they didn't seem to be missing a thing. I had a lot of batter left over, so I added a little flour to make them a little sturdier and made pancakes out of them. They were divine! I'll be keeping this recipe around.
     
  2. Fantastic Muffins! Best ever... with a few tweaks: I added nutmeg and walnuts. I used half brown sugar, and half white. All whole wheat flour. For extra moistness, I used 3/4 cup milk and the other 1/4 cup low fat sour cream.
     
  3. I love the muffins and so easy to make. I forgot to add the white sugar but half the sugar is sweet enough. Will definitely make it again. Thanks!
     
  4. Wow, these were so good! I doubled the vanilla and cinnamon, and added a bit of nutmeg and they turned out delicious. They also had the perfect amount of sweetness. Love them. Thanks for this recipe! *Update - I've made these a bunch of times already, and most recently I added fresh raspberries instead of raisins. Absolutely delicious!!
     
  5. This recipe is phenomenal, the only thing I did different is I used low fat greek yogurt instead of the applesauce...low fat, low sugar and I really like the moistness that using the greek yogurt brings. This is a great recipe! You have to shhhh, don't tell anyone it's healthy.

  2. These muffins are great. I can't say that they are the best muffins I have ever made but for only 135 calories and one gram of fat, they are fantastic. I used brown sugar in place of the granulated sugar and I added 1/4 tsp of ground cloves. Next time, I will try reducing the sugar to 1/3 as many of the other reviewers have done. Thank you for the diet-friendly option!
     
  3. Yummo! Fabulous if you want a tasty wholesome muffin instead of a cake. I soured the milk with a little lemon juice, used 100% wholemeal SR flour, used banana instead of apple, 1/3 cup brown sugar and sprinkled tops with brown sugar mixed with cinnamon. This could be my new favourite muffin recipe!!!!!
