Reviews
These muffins are pretty good, I used the applesauce I had which was spiced Amish applesauce. I think next time I would add diced apples to it.
Considering all the rave reviews this recipe recieved I was really expecting something delicious. I have to be brutally honest here. These muffins were so bland I threw them all out in the yard for the birds to eat. Styrofoam has more flavor than these muffins. I honestly am nonplussed that this has received so many high marks.
The taste is out of this world. So good. They didn't brown like I would like so next time I will use the convection part of my overn to make them. I sure will be making them again.
An Okay recipe but not what I was looking for.
Had leftover applesauce that I wanted to use before it went bad. Halved the recipe & used mini-muffin pans (bake time 10-13 minutes). They are SO tasty! Doubt they'll last a day at my office!
These turned out great! I mixed cinnamon with sparkling sugar and sprinkled on top before baking. De-lish!
This was a fantastic recipe. It had the right balance of all the flavors. I would 100% recommend trying.
Good basic recipe that can be dressed up. Next time I will use chunky applesauce and add raisins (hydrated) along with the walnuts.
I was very disappointed… these muffins are absolutely lousy. They are not a pretty looking muffin and, even with sugar and cinnamon sprinkled on top, they tasted awful. Don’t waste your time making these!
I just have to share: I've renamed these "Frantic Working Mom Muffins" after my comedy of errors trying to make them this morning for my 1-and 4-year old kids. I went for the sugar, and found there was only a half a cup left. No problem, I thought, I'll substitute maple syrup! Except I didn't have enough of that either. So I used what I had. No problem, I thought, I'll use brown sugar! No dice.... none in the cupboard. Honey? Why not. Then came the applesauce. We ALWAYS have applesauce in our fridge. But I only had a cup and a half left. No problem, I thought! I'll use banana to make up the other half cup! Except I only had a half a banana left and that only accounted for 1/4 cup. No problem! I had a puree pouch of sweet potato and apple baby food. In to the mix it went. And you know what? Not bad at all! Probably not as sweet as the original, but my kids gobbled them up and called them yummy! Thank you for a wonderful recipe -- and for an ADAPTABLE one, ha! Can't wait to try again once I've been to the grocery store. :-)
