This is a five-star recipe. Delicious! Easy to make, too!! I chopped both the carrots and apples in the food processor-- done in a flash! I was looking for something with fiber and good taste to enjoy with a pint of water when I'm hungry between meals, or before going out to milk cows-- this recipe is a winner. I didn't have the Hodgson Mill cereal on hand, so I used Ralston brand. Because I'm a believer in using coconut oil these days, I used that in place of the vegetable oil. Otherwise, I followed recipe to the letter and am SO HAPPY I FOUND THIS ONE!! Just as soon as the muffins come out of the oven, I put them into an airtight container and refrigerate (or freeze)-- this way, their own moisture KEEPS them moist. I like to make a double batch each time. THANK you, #140610!!
