For healthy, a great choice; for taste, not quite great, & I did follow the recipe right on down! I'll do them again, another time, & then I'll take tips from several others who've made them ~ I think adding some toasted wheat germ would add to the flavor, as would some dried fruit (as in those dark raisins that I enjoy so much)! Thanks for sharing the recipe! [Made & reviewed in Healthy Choices ABC Tag]

Very good muffin for fat free sugar free. I added raisins to mine. They dont have the same texture as regular muffins but that is what you can expect from using applesauce in place of the oil. I think these would also taste good with pumpkin or mashed bananas instead of the applesauce. Either way these were very tasty and I will make again. Thanks for posting!

I just finished baking these muffins for the Zaar Healthy Recipes ABC game. Here are some notes that I made: 1.) I used a red delicious apple as that's all that I had 2.) I added 1/4 cup toasted wheat germ, 3.) I used my muffin scoop and I only got 5 muffins from this batter, 4.) I baked them in my Pampered Chef Stoneware Muffin Pan, 5.) My bake time was exactly 22 minutes and 6.) I put all the ingredients into my Weight Watchers Recipe Builder and it came out to 2 points per muffin. They are pretty tasty and were very easy to prepare. Very nice size batch for when you just want a few muffins and not a whole dozen. Thank you for posting.

These are tasty little muffins. I really enjoyed them. They have 1 WW point per muffin. Can't beat that! You can really taste the chunks of apple. They don't rise so they come out of the oven on the short side. Quick and easy to prepare. Thanks, Shy617 for posting.
