This is my go to muffin for my son! I make them as mini muffins and throw them in the freezer. By the time he is ready for a snack when we are out and about or ready to eat lunch at school they are thawed. I grate the apple instead of chop; I also add 1tsp of vanilla and about 1/2 a teaspoon of apple pie spice or another complimentary spice, whatever I have on hand. Plus I add a few chopped walnuts. I normally use the non-fat Greek yogurt I have on hand, but I have also used a honey Greek yogurt and it was delicious. I have also substituted the sweet potato with pumpkin and banana with great results.

<p>My rating system: (I don't like giving bad reviews, so if I don't like it, I'll just not review it.) <br /><br />5 Stars OMG, this is one of the most amazing things I've ever eaten! I can't stop eating it, and I've eaten myself into a food coma. <br /><br />4 Stars The recipe is wonderful as is. I can't think of a single improvement and I will most likely make it again. <br /><br />3 Stars This needed a little *something*something*. I might make it again, but will add my own improvements if I do. <br /><br />I love to eat! And I love to cook. I tend to take over the kitchen when I get in there. Even the dog knows the command get outta my kitchen! LOL. Cooking for other people and trying new recipes or foods is FUN! I have a small (but growing quickly!!) cookbook collection and one of my favorite things to do is to read recipes and plan meals. Rachael Ray, Horn of the Moon and Moosewood are favorites of mine. <br /><br />We spend a lot of time outdoors camping, hiking and backpacking. Yup. I cook in the woods too! I've made deals with my hiking buddies... If they carry in my food, I'll cook for them. I recently published a backpacking cookbook.
