Very good muffins, although the recipe as written was too high in calories for my liking, so I substituted in a cup of stevia in place of the white sugar, and instead of the oil, I substituted in unsweetened apple sauce. The changes cut the calories down to 100 per muffin (based on 24 count) and 28 g of carbs. They came out very moist and tasty... will definitely be making these again!

Great, easy-to-customize recipe! Seems like everyone who makes this changes it to accomodate what they have on hand. Did use half whole wheat and half white flour; and sifted the dry ingredients to create a lighter muffin. Threw a few chocolate chips into the bit of batter to give that a try -- my DH likes those best, while I feel the chocolate overpowers the more delicate pumpkin and banana. Will definately make again. Easy, fast, tasty, what a muffin is all about.

Right now I am enjoying a muffin fresh from the oven and I have to say it is FANTASTIC! I did make one small change, just because I didn't have enough brown sugar (I was making a half-batch) so I used 1/4 c brown sugar and added a couple of tablespoons of honey. i will definitely make these again and would like to try substituting apple sauce for the oil. Thank you for a wonderful muffin recipe!!
