i poured into a glass pan and baked up nicely. It is too sweet so i will leave out the sugar next time. my kids like this with a light sprinkle of high percent dark chocolate mini chip bits.
Excellent! I omitted the sugar entirely and they were still delicious. I made 6 jumbo muffins instead of 9 so they were the perfect size.
can I make this into a quick bread? did not rate it as have not made it yet.
Excellent recipe! Just the hint of orange really makes it! I didn't have any applesauce so diced 3 small apples, microwaved until soft, worked great. Used 3 smallish bananas and added raisins! Also used heaping measurements of cinnamon & nutmeg indicated.
I added the vanilla and 1/3c chopped pecans. Delicious! I will definitely make this recipe again
These muffins were wonderful! I followed the recipe as written, but I did add 1 tsp. of vanilla, as another person suggestged. I didn't have a jumbo muffin pan. I made 18 standard size muffins. This recipe is a keeper. Thank you so much for sharing. I will definitely be making this recipe again.
loved loved these I used 1 cup of whole wheat flour and half cup of white flour,added 4 dates 1tbs cinnamon vanilla pinch of fennel and coconut 3 bananas because I didn't have applesauce and didn't have honey so I used maple syrup and I didn't add any sugar
very moist and I like the taste of the orange. My brother's girlfriend says its the best muffins she had in a while.
Fantastic!! I didn't make them Jumbo and I had 21 muffins. These are only 2 weight watchers points. Even my pick kids and husband loved them!
my son is such a picky eater, and he loves these muffins, love how he is eating something healthy and loving it
