I have been looking for something I can take with me for breakfast and I think this is it! I was a little worried that they wouldn't be moist enough as so many muffins that omit oils are... but this one came out great. Thanks!

Everyone loved these. I skipped the sugar all together and used stevia powder, about 3 tsp for the batch. I had no problem with the lack of sugar for "fill." I added the raisins and used white whole wheat flour.

These are some delicious muffins! They freeze well too. Thanks!

These are so yummy! I followed the recipe as is and did opt for the raisins. They turned out great!

Great recipe! Easy to make--my 4 yr old helped make them then helped eat them too. And she's a real picky eater. I made it without the raisins and made mini-muffins (about 30, baked for 20 min at 350 degrees).
