  1. I just finished making these into half mini muffins for my daycare kids and half reg. size muffins for my three daughters' school snacks. The only change I made was to cut down to 1 cup of sugar and then I replaced the oil with apple sauce. Great muffins!
     
  2. I made these as posted but substituted vanilla extract for the almond extract. They were soooo good especially with the caramel frosting. Sort of taste like a carrot cake. Very nice.
     
  3. These were tasty and easy to make - I subbed apple sauce for the oil and 1/2 whole wheat flour and cut sugar down to 1 cup. Very moist and not too sweet (which was good cuz' I used MizzNezz's Yummy Caramel Frosting to top them which was REALLY sweet!)
     
  4. These are quick and easy to make. I used unsweetened applesauce instead of oil and only used 1 cup of sugar. They're good but to my taste, there was just a little something missing - I'm not sure what though. I love the orange in it. I will make these again.
     
  5. I made these for work and they were so great. I used vanilla extract too. Everyone loved the smelled of these cupcakes. If I wanted to make it as a cake what temp and how long should I bake? Thanks. RJ

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

After DH and I moved away from the farm, and to the city...I haven't done as much cooking and very little canning. But I do come to Zaar and look for new recipes once in a while. I'm still cooking Zaar!! I like to play at Facebook, with my family and friends. A lot of my Zaar friends are there!! Yay! It's a good way to keep in touch. We travel more. We're looking at the European trips now. Hope to go in the springtime. I really want to see London, I think I lived there in a past life, I've been obsessed with it since I was 10 years old!!
