These muffins are fabulous! They are hearty and very filling. The pecans give it a nice little crunch on top. I subbed half the raisins for dried blueberries. I was worried the mixture seemed to be very wet but it turned out perfectly and the applesauce is not listed in the directions. Thank you Caet your low fat version is one of my new favorite recipes.

I can't believe how my kids devoured these! When I tasted them, I thought they would think they were too mealy, but both children actually really liked the texture. My 7-yr. old son even took 2 to school for lunch! We omitted the raisins and nuts and put chocolate chips on top (could be the reason why they were so popular), I also only had regular applesauce on hand and did not come out too sweet. They didn't taste too "healthy" either. Any recipe that is this good-for-you and gets kids to eat it gets 5 stars from me! Thanks for posting!
