Meet the Cook: There's a deliciously different taste to these muffins, thanks to the pineapple juice and raisins they contain. We have them for breakfast, lunch and snacks. My husband and I enjoy gardening...I do flowers, and he does vegetables. -Pauline Rohloff, Endeavor, Wisconsin

2 cups pineapple juice
2 cups golden raisins

THERES ALOT OF SUGAR IN THIS RECIPE,WITH THE BROWN SUGAR AND THE HONEY,DO WE REALLY NEED ALL OF IT AND CAN YOU USE SPLENDA OR UNSWEENTENED APPLESAUCE IN INSTEAD AS A SUBSTITUTE?-VERY NICE BUT SWEET,ALSO HOW WOULD THE NUTRITIONAL BREAKDOWN BE WITH YOUR RECIPE WITH YOUR SUGAR AND HONEY AMOUNTS. YOU DIDN'T INCLUDE THAT IN THE NUTRITIONAL FACTS(THE SUGAR I MEAN) THANKYOU

These are great! The first time I made them I went with the recipe and the second time I didn't have enough canola oil so I used less and added a ripe banana. The were still good!
