Lovely flavours that match really well. The muffins are light and make a healthy finger food for babies.

An excellent combination of flavors, but way too complicated a recipe for something as simple as a fruited muffin. However, since I used this as my base and the results were good (published as a seperate recipe), I give it three stars.

We loved it, my 2-1/2 y.o. daughter always asks for them. We used honey instead of sugar, applesauce instead of eggs, soy milk, & 1/2 buckwheat flour, half rice flour. Worked out great.

Good wholesome muffins but next time I make these I'm going to use canned squash. Thanks for sharing!
