We liked these a lot. I did make a few changes due to dietary restrictions and what I had onhand. 1/2 oatbran and regular flour, 2 T each butter and olive oil, left out the nuts, used nut milk. I like to let batter sit for 20-30 minutes before baking, It gives the baking powder a chance to become more active. I read that once in a cookie recipe and my boyfriend remarked on how much the cookies rose. Thanks for the recipe!

I was looking for a non-sugar muffin recipe for my daughter and these fit the request perfectly. Similar to the carrot-raisin muffins at Mimi's Cafe, but using stevia instead - brilliant! I did make one modification, though. I added 1/4 cup cranberry sauce to them, as I needed to use it up. The addition resulted in 16 muffins, instead of 12.
