  1. I've been making these for some time and was going to post this recipe, but you've beat me to it. They are lovely muffins, so moist, tender and healthy. I have made them with 1 cup of apple sauce when I was out of apples and I often use a full cup of hemp hearts instead of the mixed nuts.
     
  2. I forgot to add my rating to my last post but I give these muffins a five star rating!
     
  3. Four and 1/2 stars really, half off for picky eaters who said they don't like the raisins.
     
  4. These are so moist and delicious that even my kids love them! Full of flavor and healthy too. What's not to love?? I got 20 good sized muffins.
     
  5. Excellent recipe. These came out so tender and flavorful! I always buy Bob's Red Mill products, they are so high quality. Thanks for posting this great recipe.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

My husband and I married straight out of college in July of 1992. I work as the Assistant Manager at a wine shop which allows me to drink on the job! (OK, not that much, but it's still a fun job...) Besides helping customers choose wine they will like (and also help with food and wine pairings for their menus), I also get to help with the catering end of the business, so I get to spend a fair amount of time in the kitchen making fun appetizers and beautiful food displays. I also work part-time at the fromagerie next door. So yeah - that means I eat on the job, too. :^D We live on several peaceful wooded acres on a cute little river in rural NE Wisconsin, with a cranky old-lady Burmese and whatever stray outdoor cats that have decided to adopt us on any given day. The cute puppy in the picture is Jake, our Elhew-bred English Pointer that we brought home on Easter weekend 2007. I've also got 2 painted turtles named Dennis and Fuzz, and a bunch of fish (koi and goldfish, along with the guppies & swordtails in the turtle tank). I USUALLY eat and cook healthy, but I rarely pass up dessert, either. I do not eat red meat, and try to limit other animal products, too. I love to bake, although I seem to collect a lot of scone and biscotti recipes which I NEVER get around to making. I bake and eat A LOT of cookies and muffins... I almost always reduce the sugar by 1/4 and use whole wheat pastry flour for at least part of the flour. Those two changes do so much to make recipes healthier without compromising taste. I try to reduce fat whenever I can, too, but while I want to eat healthy, I still want to ENJOY what I eat!!! I seem to give a lot of 4 and 5 star reviews here - I seem to have a pretty good sense of what I like by looking at a recipe before I try it. Thank you to anyone that tries my recipes in return, or photographs them.
