I'm giving this four stars, because the basic recipe is what got me started, but I made a lot of changes. I read the reviews here first, which helped a lot. I used espresso powder instead of instant coffee, low fat vanilla yogurt instead of applesauce, whole wheat white flour and wheat germ instead of all purpose flour, 2 teaspoons of cinnamon, and peanut butter chips. I also altered the baking time and the baking temperature. They came out dark, rich, and cakey. I think next time I'll try turbinado sugar to give it a bit more sweetness but honestly, these were a huge hit at my office and came out healthy and delicious at the same time! <a href="http://mybakingadventure.tumblr.com/post/53020078407/espresso-muffins-with-peanut-butter-chip" target="_blank">I blogged making them here</a> so you can see exactly what I did. So worth making and I wouldn't have been able to do it without the original recipe to work off of.
