I really like this recipe I did change it a little bit. I use 2 c. flour and 1 t. salt, 1 c. egg beaters instead of the 4 eggs and no sugar added applesauce and used splenda and with the sugar. And according to my calculations if you are on Weight Watchers 1 muffin would = 2 1/2 points. Servings per recipe is 18. I would definitely give it a 5 star. And will have it Thanksgiving Day, my husband loved them too and to me that's a plus!! Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!! It was very easy to make and I really liked that.

Very nice texture and moist! Changes I amde: I cut the sugar back to 2 cups total. My personal preference is for a less sweet bread. I changed the salt to 1 tsp, as I am on a lower sodium diet. No difference in final product. Will keep this one!
