I gave this recipe 5 stars because of how healthy it is. If it wasn't a healthy recipe, I would be inclined to give it only 4 because it isn't as moist and sweet as the super unhealthy muffins, but because they're healthy, they get 5! :)<br/>I'm very surprised at how well these turned out for how healthy they are! Excellent recipe. I also added nutmeg like many reviewers have mentioned. I don't like raisins, so I left those out, but they didn't seem to be missing a thing. I had a lot of batter left over, so I added a little flour to make them a little sturdier and made pancakes out of them. They were divine! I'll be keeping this recipe around.

Fantastic Muffins! Best ever... with a few tweaks: I added nutmeg and walnuts. I used half brown sugar, and half white. All whole wheat flour. For extra moistness, I used 3/4 cup milk and the other 1/4 cup low fat sour cream.

I love the muffins and so easy to make. I forgot to add the white sugar but half the sugar is sweet enough. Will definitely make it again. Thanks!

Wow, these were so good! I doubled the vanilla and cinnamon, and added a bit of nutmeg and they turned out delicious. They also had the perfect amount of sweetness. Love them. Thanks for this recipe! *Update - I've made these a bunch of times already, and most recently I added fresh raspberries instead of raisins. Absolutely delicious!!

This recipe is phenomenal, the only thing I did different is I used low fat greek yogurt instead of the applesauce...low fat, low sugar and I really like the moistness that using the greek yogurt brings. This is a great recipe! You have to shhhh, don't tell anyone it's healthy.
