I was looking for a healthy breakfast muffin and this one is very close. I made several changes to the recipe, and I think it turned out pretty good. First and foremost a little salt needs to be added. This I did not discover until after they were done, and I was using a salt shaker to eat! I also halved the sugar, using only 1/2 cup. Next time I will try even a little less, and use brown sugar instead. I only used 2 tsps of cinnamon, omitted the chocolate chips and apricots, added raisens, and chopped pecans, and used only 1/2 cup of oil, along with 1/2 cup of applesauce. I think it would work well, to go ahead and completely substitue the applesauce for the oil the next time I try these. I also added 1/2 cup of ground flax seed...any kind of bran would would work well to get a little extra fiber in. It's a good base to start with and as MarieAlice mentioned, it's easy to sub in things to suit your taste. All in all, they turned out very good, and I felt good about starting the day off with something baked that was actually good for you!
