These are so tasty and so easy to make! I halved the recipe and didn't bother with the oil. Just added two more tablespoons of applesauce and 1/2 a tsp of cinnamon and they turned out nice and moist with even less fat. :-) Ended up with 8 med. size muffins. Definitely will make again! Thank you Zenith.

I was really looking forward to these. It's one of the first recipes I ever put into my cookbook and I finaly got around to making them. The flavor was great but they were rather tough and heavy. I made them exactly as the recipe stated.
